CHAPTER 6 : CONTOURCUTTING

AP-75280 – Rev. 1.2

6.2 WHICH ALIGNING METHOD SHOULD I USE?

The Mutoh Manual Align Method is the non-automatic method.

Its advantage is that the cropmark system is very small (for small sized jobs), and that this method can be

used in case of vinyl that do not reflect the EPOS laser light (meaning, the laser would not be capable of

measuring the cropmarks automatically).

The user has to use the jog keys on the keyboard to measure each cross manually before contourcutting can

start.

The Mutoh Auto Align without Barcode is the first fully-automated alignment system.

Just place the sign in the cutter, click on PLOT in the cutting software, and the cutter will automatic align the

sign by use of the black reference box, no user intervention is needed.

This method is ideal for use of single signs, one at the time.

We do not advise to use this method for signs over 2 meter of length, although there is no real limit to the

length that can be used.

The Mutoh Auto Align Barcode is a fully-automated alignment system, with a barcode printed on the

sign.

YOU SHOULD USE THIS METHOD IN COMBINATION WITH THE MUTOH CUTSERVER!

This method can be used in case you are creating multiple different contour signs. It allows you to make all

your prints at once (overnight printing for example), and then load the roll with images in the SC-Pro.

If each sign on the roll has a barcode and if all plot files are in the Mutoh CutServer, just click on GO in the

Mutoh CutServer (make sure that the Mutoh CutServer properties are set to SINGLE FRAME, and REPEAT

MODE) and every sign on the roll will be cut, without the need for user intervention (make sure you’ve

enabled auto-sheet-off in EasySIGN for each contour-sign)

The reason for the two barcodes is to make it possible for the SC-Pro to auto-detect if the image is loaded

upside-down or correctly.

There is no need for you to search the plot file for each image; the SC-Pro and the Mutoh CutServer will do

this fully-automatically, until the complete roll with signs is finished.

We do not recommend this method over 2 m job length, although there is no real limit to the length that can

be used.

The Mutoh Auto Align Multiframe offers all advantages of the previous one but it will split the image

in multiple segments. (This is to enhance precision over long length).

YOU SHOULD USE THIS METHOD IN COMBINATION WITH THE MUTOH CUTSERVER!

With this method, it is possible to make signs of 10m or longer, and the SC-Pro will measure segment per

segment, and cut segment per segment. This method gives you more accuracy than the previous method.

We do not recommend this method for signs smaller than 1,5m

You should use the Mutoh CutServer for this method, and make sure the Mutoh CutServer properties are set

to MULTI- FRAME MODE.

Difference between AL5 and AL6

These alignment methods appear to be the same and they are, up to the part where the segments are split.

In an AL5 alignment method, the segments are split in the cut software, which means there is only one block

of date. In AL6, the segments are split by the Mutoh CutServer. The prefix of an AL6 command is _NC (n

lipped)
