Manual Programming - DC545 HCEXChapter 5Manual Programming - DC545 HCEXThis chapter describes how to manually program the Docu Cutter.The Docu Cutter is manually programmable with 80 sets of job dimensions or program numbers. Each setof dimensions are stored and recalled by a program number. (a P.45, “Factory Preset Jobs”)Prior to Programming a Job1Before programming a job carefully measure,in millimeters, the required slits, cuts andcreases. See the Figure 1 for reference andFigure 2 for a detailed description of eachfunction.Record the values in “Customer ProgramedJobs”. Remember that all measurements,except MARK 1, are in millimeters.Familiarize yourself with the following illustrationsand instructions to make the programmingprocess easy and trouble free.IMPORTANT NOTES:There are a total of five slitters. Two slitters arefor the margins and the remaining threeslitters are for the center of the sheet.There is a guillotine cutter that performs cutsperpendicular to the line of the paper travel.P–01?

Manual Programming - DC545 HCEXDefinition of Programming TermsSHEET LAYOUTSSheets can be laid out in portrait or landscape format. The illustration below is for a CD tray jacket. The letter (or A4)sheet is printed 2-up and fed in portrait orientation.1555

Definition of Programming TermsAUTO CUTIf there is no waste on the sheet, be sure to turn the AUTO CUT feature OFF. See Examples 1 and 2 below.Example 1 - When AUTO CUT must be OFFExample 2 - When AUTO CUT must be OFFAUTO CUT is turned ON and OFF in the operator menu and is a global function, i.e. it is not saved specific to a job.Jobs requiring AUTO CUT ON and OFF CANNOT mixed in the feed tray.PLEASE NOTE: When the total number of scores and cuts (including those cuts due to AUTO CUT) exceeds 17 thefollowing message appears on LCD display:––– E 6 –––DATA ERRORIf a E6 data error occurs the job must be re-designed or reprogrammed so the total number of cuts and creases do notexceed 1756

Manual Programming - DC545 HCEXDefinition of Programming TermsJOB DESIGN ISSUES1) Orientation of small format (business) cardsAlthough the smallest format supported is 88.9 x 50.8 mm, the 88.9 mm side must be in the direction of feed, otherwisethe pieces will drop between the transport rollers. This is because the center slitters must be able to move across thepaper path.12) Arrangement of small format (business) cards on large sheets (A3+ or oversized ledger)Business cards requiring a bleed and gutter, require the use of two slitters between each card. Because more businesscards are fit onto A3 or ledger in this format compared to A4 or letter, the number of slitters required will be more thanthe maximum of 4 available.5Workaround solution - arrange 12 to view on A3 or ledger, place the register mark in two positions, 210 mm apart. Printon A3, cut in half using a guillotine (or use the 545). Then place both stacks in the 545 and process as if A4 or letter.The reg. mark will enable the device to adjust and compensate both for image drift and for any inaccuracy in theguillotine cut.57

Definition of Programming TermsPrint, cut in half, process as if A4 or letter size3) Cutting guttersThe slitters cannot be positioned closer together than 50 mm. To perform a gutter cut of a few mm, use slitters on twoadjacent shafts, not those on the same shaft. The waste between gutters will exit onto the delivery tray.4) Location of right margin trim for A4 paperUnlike the center slitters, both margin slitters share common axis lead screws. Due to the need to support the marginslitters lead screws in the mid-area of the machine, a support was positioned approximately in the middle of the device.This means that the right trimmer cannot trim below the dimension of 200 mm from the reference (datum or nonoperatorside) edge.In the worst case the image can drift up to 2 mm so the trim position should not be located less than 202 mm from thereference edge.58

Manual Programming - DC545 HCEXDefinition of Programming TermsAlso consider that the unprintable margin of a digital press is typically 3 to 5 mm from the edge of the sheet, so the edgeof the image should not be placed more than 205 mm from the reference edge.To avoid the problem of the image drifting into the unprintable margin (which would result in a white edge inside theimage area), the image should possess a bleed of (typically) 2mm.With all these factors combined, it is recommended that the right trim position is located between 202 and 204 mm fromthe reference edge.1202-204mmtypicallyWorkaround - Should a job be presented that requires a side trim of less than 200 mm, use the right center slitter, OP1,or OP2 slitter to remove the waste from the side. The waste will exit onto the delivery tray.5) Skewed Output on Small PiecesDepending on the job layout it is possible to have skewed output when small pieces are processed. In part, this problemis due to the design of the rubber feed rollers. Each roller has cutouts that reduce the gripping and drive area for thepaper. In addition, the slitter units add drag as the card contacts the slitter housing and cutter wheels.5Workaround - Analyze the slitter positions and reprogram the job. Switch the center and option slitter units cuttingpositions in order to better balance the paper as it travels through the slitters.59

Appendix - DC545 HC/DC545 HCEXSpecificationsTHE 'REG' (REGISTER) MARKUsing a CCD sensor to read an image reference point on the sheet is a unique feature of the DC-545.The mark is similar to a cutting mark (or crop mark) for guillotines. The device does not cut on this mark, it is simplya definable shape which is easy to recognize and is easy to reproduce in the original application.The reg. mark is actually made up of two components. The vertical component is used for determining the horizontalreference point. In other words, where the image is located from left to right on the sheet. When a job is programmedinto memory the first entry is MARK 1. This refers to the vertical line in the reg. mark. During the programmingprocess the MARK 1 value is entered in pulse counts. There are two ways to obtain the proper data value for MARK 1.Obtaining the MARK 1 value can be done with the two following methods.Obtaining MARK 1 Value - Method 1With this method, you can input the MARK 1 value through DC-545. Load the type of paper that is registered to for thefeed tray when inputting the MARK 1 value, and then press the key. The paper stops when it is in the vicinitywhere the MARK 1 value is read, move the paper forward and backward with the and keys to move the paperto the position where the MARK 1 value can be read. Then enter the value that is displayed on the screen.12Obtaining MARK 1 Value - Method 2You can enter the MARK 1 value with the following method, rather than method 1, if you know the MARK 1 position.Convert the MARK 1 value to a numerical value according to the following table and enter the new value, note that theMARK 1 value is not the distance (mm) from the edge of the paper.For example, if the MARK 1 is positioned 10 mm from the edge of the paper, then the MARK 1 value is 70.MM CCD Reading1 15+/- 12 21+/- 13 27+/- 14 33+/- 15 40+/- 16 46+/- 17 52+/- 18 58+/- 19 64+/- 110 70+/- 111 77+/- 112 83+/- 113 89+/- 114 95+/- 115 101+/- 116 107+/- 117 113+/- 118 120+/- 119 126+/- 120 132+/- 1MARK 1 CONVERSION TABLE73

SpecificationsThe second program entry is MARK 2. This refers to the horizontal line of the reg. mark and is used as the imagevertical reference point. This mark determines where the image reference is located in respect to the head and foot of thepage.MARK 1MARK 2MARK 1 corrects for errors in thisdirectionMARK 2 corrects for errors in thisdirection74

Appendix - DC545 HC/DC545 HCEXSpecificationsHOW TO MAKE A BAR CODE FOR USE WITH THE DC-545The easiest way to create the code is with a TrueType Font. Fonts are readily available from many companies on theinternet. Here are two companies which have fonts suitable for use with the DC-545 (there are many companies offeringfonts).www.azalea.com/code39Azalea offers a free sample of code 39 and a variety of customizable options that allow printing of bar codesfrom Microsoft Windows or Macintosh platforms.http://www.datascan.co.ukSamples - standard font Price £149 for a single user; £298 for 2-5Basic Font Installation InstructionsThe following briefly describes what is required to install a font on a Windows or Macintosh system. The font providerwill supply more detailed information, these guidelines are only intended to illustrate the basics and scope of theinstallation process.12On a Windows PC the font is installed through the Control Panel's "Fonts" folder.On a Macintosh system select the font suitcases (for TrueType 1 fonts also select the printer outline files) and drag thefonts onto the closed System Folder icon. For OS X drag the fonts onto the Fonts folder in the Library folder.How to use a TrueType fontOnce installed, the font will appear in the word processing or desktop publishing application in the font selection area.Please note in MS Word, typing text surrounded by the characters * and *, automatically turns on auto format to boldtext. Since this is not the intended, or useful, turn off the auto formatting by following the steps below or use the 'undolast action' after typing.75

SpecificationsSelect OptionsDelete *Bold* and _underline_with real formatting76

Appendix - DC545 HC/DC545 HCEXSpecificationsCreating the BarcodeMaking the barcode appear on the page is extremely easy with a TrueType font. In this case we will use the example job“01.” The application designer simply does the following:1. Place a text box in the predefined area. Make sure the text box is large enough to hold the entire bar code. Itmay be necessary to increase the size of the text box after the font is created.2. Type the desired job (program) number surrounded by a stop and start bit. Remember the stop and start bitare recognized in Code 39 as an * or asterisk.3. Select the text, in this case the text will appear as: *01*4. Change the font type in the font selection window to the name of the code 39 font.The text will appear as: *01*5. Print a sample and make sure the font is at least 4 mm tall. If not, increase the size of the code 39 font byreselecting the barcode and increasing the font size with through the Font size selection window.12FontselectionwindowDuplo Code 39Font sizeselectionwindow77

Appendix - DC545 HC/DC545 HCEXSpecifications3. Range within which the Register Mark can be AdjustedThe DC-545 compensates the position for cutting, creasing and slitting if the register mark discrepancies are withinranges such that the mark 1 value is +/- 40 (+/- 6 mm), for mark 1 (left/right) in the registered JOB data, and such thatmark 2 (up/down) is between 5 mm and 35 mm from the leading edge of the paper (see the following diagram) regardlessof the registered job data.However, even if the register mark is within the range described above, compensation cannot be done for the registermark if it is outside the range where the printer can print.15mmPosition of the upper limit that mark 2 ofthe register mark can be read235mmPosition of the lower limit that mark 2 ofthe register mark can be read81

SpecificationsHow to do AUTO CUTWhat is AUTO CUT?Automatic cutting is done between the leading edge of the paper and the first cut and between the last cut and thetrailing edge of the paper.
