Page15
2-3 Datum selection

There are two ways of cutting sheets; using the EDGE of the sheet of paper as your initial guide
point or using a printed ‘MARK’ that the internal mark sensor will read to position its cuts.

Note: The ‘MARK’ option is particularly useful when printing with a digital printing press or copier
because it allows for any sheet printing adjustments.

On the control panel the ‘Datum Selection’ can be selected by pressing the button to choose
which option you would like to use.

Edge Edge: cutting from the front of the sheet as a benchmark

Mark Mark: using a printed ‘MARK’ to position the cuts on sheet

The machine has preset cutting parameters and will always default to EDGE unless you are using
the CUSTOM mode and some of the CUSTOM modes have ‘MARK’ detection set as a default - see
section 2-4 Cutting modes.
