3-5 Creating Printing Data
This section describes how to create data, using printing of a plate like the one shown below as an example.
Step 1 : Decide on the Size and Shape of the Material
Important Notes on Printing
Be sure to ensure a margin of 1 mm or more at each edge of the material. Also, avoid printing at areas where there
are holes in the material. The marking pin may be damaged if it strikes an edge or the like on the material.
Procedure
Enter the material's size (outer dimensions), then choose the shape.
In this example, enter 24 mm by 27 mm for the size and choose "quadrilateral" as the shape.
