When [CUTTING PRIOR] on the machine's menu has been set to [COMMAND], the program's settings for the cutting condi-
tions take priority.
To give priority to the cutting conditions set on the machine, turn off the program settings, or set the [CUTTING PRIOR] menu
to [MENU].
For more information about the [CUTTING PRIOR] menu, see the section "6-2 Description of Menus".
If you are using a media with a strong adhesive layer, the adhesive layer may adhere to itself immediately when cut. This means
that even though the media has actually been cut, it may appear as if it has not been cut, and blade force may mistakenly be set
too high.
If a cutting test shows that the media peels easily and the blade traces on the carrier paper are optimal, then the media is being
cut. Take care not to set the blade force excessively high.
