The cutter reads the barcode and sends the barcode data to the computer.
The cutting software then automatically sends the correct cutting data to the cutter.
The cutter starts sensing the OPOS markers, then cuts out the job.
The OPOS sensor now searches for another job after the one that has just finished, and continues to contour-cut.
This is repeated until all contour-cut jobs on the loaded roll are done.

Job types

There are different kinds of jobs: mainly, print-and-cut jobs and direct-cut jobs; both are prepared at the
computer with the software provided.
When you start a direct-cut job, the cutter will start to cut immediately, so make sure you have the substrate
loaded before sending it to cut.
Print-and-cut jobs include an HP barcode as part of the print. This is read by the OPOS to find out where the cuts
should be made. See

Calibrations

To ensure that OPOS is working accurately, two calibrations are necessary: the OPOS calibration (see
the OPOS sensor on page
calibration is the calibration of the distance between the knife tip and the sensor. The substrate calibration
teaches the cutter the reflection levels of the marker color and the substrate color.
