8. Before sending the image to print you need to make sure that the image you intend to cut will fit on
the vinyl within the cutter. To do this you will need to open the VLCD software which was earlier
placed on the desk top.
Make sure the cutter is turned ON and open the VLCD2 software. Select the relevant option from the
dropdown list and click Connect on the VLCD2 display. The Width will now be displayed as shown:
This width measurement is the measurement of cuttable vinyl. Note: the cutter will measure the vinyl
between the two outer pinch rollers.
Now that you know the width of the vinyl we can use this measurement within the CorelDRAW
document. With no objects highlighted in CorelDRAW (deselect any objects by clicking on a blank
area of the document) the property bar shows the current page sizes.
You can change the width of the page to match the width of the vinyl in the cutter (width displayed in
the VLCD2 software as above).
Note: Enter the width in CorelDRAW approximately 10mm smaller than the actual width of the
material. For example the width above shows 431.7mm. In the width of the page size in CorelDRAW
enter 420mm. This allows a small amount of room for error when setting up your transfers on your
media.
TIp: Make the length of the page MORE than the width.
(1000mm is recommended to represent 1meter of vinyl).
