1. Pinch Roller Position/Number and Clamp Settings

Setting the Number of Pinch Rollers to Use

Set the pressure and number used to hold the sheet based on the tool and sheet being used. Incorrect pinch roller pressure settings may result in sheet skew or leave pinch roller marks on the sheet.

For more information on the pinch roller positions, refer to Pinch Rollers and Grit Rollers.

  • If [PINCH ROLLER] is set to [2] and [ROLL. SELECT] is set to [OFF], only two pinch rollers will be detected during sheet detection.
  • When using wider sheets, the number of pinch rollers can be limited to avoid leaving roller marks on the sheet. This may reduce sheet drive accuracy, so either the cutting speed and up speed should be reduced sufficiently or [SHEET TYPE] should be set to [HEAVY] to restrict the drive speed.
