⇒If it does not, amend input values so that they correspond to image positions.
③ If the cutting positions shifts along feeding direction, input a value on micro adjustment
according to below picture.
Micro adjustment
It is adjustable
up to +/- 1.00mm by 0.01mm.
EX:
In case the gap is 3mm and there are 6
gutters between cards, 3 ÷ 6=0.5mm
should be inputted.
37
AeroCut Prime OPERATION MANUAL
EX:
In case the gap is -3mm and there are 6
gutters between cards, -3 ÷ 6=-0.5mm
should be inputted.

If the actual size and measurements of output differs from input values, calibrate the
machine via ADJUST screen.
Reset the machine to the factory setting, all the adjusted values
will be 0.
① In cases the width of a card or a top margin is different from inputted values,
Input differences between inputted values and actual sizes of outputs into A,B,C and D.

EX:
If the input value is 90mm and the cut measurement is 90.4mm, input -0.4.
If the input value is 5mm and cut measurement is 4.5mm, input +0.5.
※:If you press OK after you input values into A, B, C and D, those values will be added to
each total measurements which are circled on the image below. Then, A, B, C and D will be
reset to 0.00.You can change the measurement by 0.05mm.Each adjustment should be
within±2.00 mm at one time. If the gap is more than ±2.00 mm, repeat the process until
the desired measurement is reached.

In case you amend the value according to expansion
or contraction of printing.
Input magnification into L if the printing is stretching
to the feed direction.
Input magnification into M if the printing is stretching
to the width direction.
Please note that changing magnifications results in
changing actual measurements of outputs.
EX:
If printing should be 100mm width, but actual
printing is 105mm, input 1.050 (105/100) into L. L M
(”L” must be from 0.500 times to 2.000 times and “M” must be from0.800 times to
