- Important Notes and Information -

With this driver, you can set only vector data to cutting lines. All bitmap data is printed. 
To perform cutting, use a drawing program such as a graphic drawing program or CAD program. 
You cannot perform cutting using a program that outputs only bitmap data (this includes most word processors and paint programs). 

Specify the line width for cutting lines as follows. 
It may not be possible to cut lines of the specified width. 

Program settings
 Adobe Illustrator 10/10.0.3	... 0.001 pt (Line-width display is set at 0 pt.) 
 Adobe Illustrator 9.0/9.0.2	... 0.001 pt (Line-width display is set at 0 pt.) 
 Adobe Illustrator 8.0/8.0.1	... 0.01 pt
 Adobe Illustrator 7.0/7.01	... 0 pt
 CorelDRAW 11/10/9		... 0.001 mm

Specify a cutting-line color (using RGB values) that is different from the colors of printed lines and text. Specifying a color that is the same as for printed lines and text may make color printing and cutting impossible. 

Specify a color other than black (RGB value: 0,0,0) for cutting lines. Specifying black may make correct printing and cutting impossible. 

To cut the outlines of text, you need to perform outlining for the text. Use a program provided with a text-outlining function. 
Outlining may not be possible for some fonts. 
In general, TrueType and ATM (Adobe Type Manager) fonts can be outlined, but some programs may not support such outlining. 

To ensure attractive printed text, use outline fonts such as TrueType or ATM (Adobe Type Manager) fonts. 
When bitmap fonts are used, the image shown on screen is output without change, and so the printed text has conspicuous jaggedness. 

Only the following operating systems support USB connection. 
 Windows 2000/XP

When you use USB connection on Windows 2000, some of the data sent to the printer may be lost.
This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2.

- Important Notes When Performing Output from Adobe Illustrator 10 -

When [Form Color Mode] is set to [CMYK], color matching cannot be performed for cut lines. This should normally be left set to [RGB]. 

Select [Color Management Off] for [Settings] under [Edit] - [Color Settings]. Cutting may not be able to perform when selecting [Emulate Adobe(R)Illustrator(R)6.0].

Cutting will be performed two times for an object drawn by using [Rectangular Grid Tool] or [Polar Grid Tool] because these two functions creates an object by automatically overlapping the 2 lines.  You can avoid this symptom by deleting the top line on the object.
* Perform the following steps on the Illustrator10 for deleting the top line. 
1. Select the object and perform [Object] - [Expand Appearance].
2. Deselect the object and then delete the top line by selecting each line with Direct Selection Tool. (Make sure the same line is under the deleted line.  Repeat this procedure if there are plural lines.)

Cutting is not recommended for objects drawn by using the following tools because of the result described below.  (There is no problem just for printing.)
Symbol Sprayer Tool	(Every overlapping symbols will be cut.)
Symbol Shifter Tool	(Every overlapping symbols will be cut.)
Symbol Scruncher Tool	(Every overlapping symbols will be cut.)
Symbol Sizer Tool	(Every overlapping symbols will be cut.)
Symbol Spinner Tool	(Every overlapping symbols will be cut.)
Symbol Stainer Tool	(Cutting won't be performed because the color for Fill and Stroke will be changed.)
Symbol Screener Tool	(Cutting won't be performed due to transparency effect.)
Flare			(Cutting won't be performed due to transparency effect.)

It is necessary to output an object with transparency effect separately for printing and cutting by using such function as Layer. Perform printing first by selecting [Printer Control] - [Rewind Media after Printing] under the Driver Settings.  Then, deselect it again to perform cutting next.

When you are performing cutting and printing with the [File] - [Print] setting [Bitmap Printing] selected, it may be necessary to output the printed and cut portions separately, such as by separating the printed portion and the cut lines into different layers. Select the selection for the driver setting [Printer Control] - [Rewind Media after Printing] and print only the printed portion, then deselect the setting again and output only the cut lines. 

Also see the following important notes for Adobe Illustrator 8/9/10. 

- Important Notes When Performing Output from Adobe Illustrator 9 -

When [Form Color Mode] is set to [CMYK], color matching cannot be performed for cut lines. This should normally be left set to [RGB]. 

Select [Color Management Off] for [Settings] under [Edit] - [Color Settings]. Cutting may not be able to perform when selecting [Emulate Adobe(R)Illustrator(R)6.0].

In the [Color Settings] dialog box, clear the selection for [Use Print Color for Screen View]. When this is on, cutting may not be possible. 
To display the [Color Settings] dialog box, run the [File] - [Color Settings] command.

In the [Print] dialog box, clear the selection for [Bitmap Printing]. When this is on, cutting cannot be performed. 
To display the [Print] dialog box, run the [File] - [Print] command. 

When the number of anchor points exceeds 256, the path cannot be printed or cut correctly. In such cases, separate the path to reduce the number of anchor points. 
When there are compound paths, the total number of included anchor points must not exceed 256. 

For the [Media] - [Media Size] - [Length] driver setting, do not specify a length greater than the following value. 
 1,155.9 mm (45.51 inch)

Make the size of the art board narrower than the range shown below. 
 Width 2,088 x Length 3,276 pt (736.6 x 1155.7 mm , 29.0 x 45.5 inch)
Exceeding this range may result in a portion of the artwork not being output or in lines not being drawn as intended. 

Make sure that the artwork and laid-out graphics do not extend beyond the art board. If such extension occurs, operation may not be correct. 

Cutting may be performed twice at the same location for narrow-width rectangles (multi-sided shapes) and ellipses. 
When the outline of a bitmap image is traced, a path like this may be created. 

When the [Place] command is used, deselect the [Link] option.

In the [Options] dialog box, under [Global] - [Color Management], clear the selection for [Calibrate Colors for display]. When this is on, cutting may not be possible. 
To display the [Options] dialog box, run the [Tools] - [Options] command.
