Values in Inches
If you want to enter values in inches in all modes which require a numeric entry, set Inch
Entry to [On] in Common Settings (from the Additional Functions screen). (See “Common
Settings,” on p. 12‑6.) This enables you to enter values in inches when you press [Inch] on a
screen requiring a numeric entry or measurement.
The default entry mode for numeric values is inches, but you can change it to millimeters by
turning the Inch Entry mode [Off].
The following example shows you how to enter 5 1/2" for X value in the Irregular Size mode.

① Press the keys in the following order: [5],
[_], [1], [/], and [2].
If you make a mistake when entering
values, press [C], then enter the correct
values.
You can enter only 2, 4, 8, or 16 as the
denominator.
The value entered in inches is converted
to millimeters by the machine each time
it is entered. Thus, there may be a slight
difference between the value calculated
and the actual value entered.
To enter values in millimeters, press [mm].
