Pen Cartridge Definition |
|---|
The Pen Cartridge is used to draw onto the surface of the matboard on the CMC to create a design. You can Pen Designs, CutArts, LetterMats and TTFs.  |
Pen is Applied to the Wrong Place Horizontally | |
|---|---|
The Horizontal Adjustment defines the global Horizontal placement of objects applied with the Pen Cartridges. If the Pen line is applied Too Far Left Horizontally, Increase the Horizontal Adjustment. If the Pen line is applied Too Far Right Horizontally, Decrease the Horizontal Adjustment. See: Horizontal Adjustment. | |
Pen is Applied to the Wrong Place Vertically | |
|---|---|
The Vertical Adjustment defines the global Vertical placement of objects applied with the Pen Cartridges. If the Pen line is applied Too Far Up Vertically, Decrease the Vertical Adjustment. If the Pen line is applied Too Far Down Vertically, Increase the Vertical Adjustment. See: Vertical Adjustment. | |
Pen is the Wrong Size | |
|---|---|
The Opening Adjustment controls the size of the Opening cut or Object applied with non-blade cartridges. If the Pen is Too Large, Decrease the Opening Adjustment. If the Pen is Too Small, Increase the Opening Adjustment. See: Opening Adjustment. | |
Pen Applied at the Wrong Depth | |
|---|---|
The Depth Setting controls the Blade Depth for the Non-Blade Tools in the Configurations. If the Non-Blade Tool is too Deep, Decrease the Depth Setting. If the Non-Blade Tool is too Shallow, Increase the Depth Setting. See: Depth Setting for Pen. | |
Pen Cartridge Tears the Mat | |
|---|---|
The Corner Pause setting in Configurations is the amount of time, in milliseconds, to pause the application of the Non-Blade Tools between segments. The Non-Blade Tool Tears the Corners, Increase the Corner Pause. The Non-Blade Tool is pausing too long in the Corners, Decrease the Corner Pause. See: Corner Pause for Pen | |
Pen Lines are too Long | |
|---|---|
The Overshoot controls how far past the end of the Line/Arc Segment to apply the Non-Blade Tool (Deboss, Pen or Vinyl). If the Overshoot of the Non-Blade Tool is applied Too Long, Decrease the Overshoot. If the Overshoot of the Non-Blade Tool is applied Too Short, Increase the Overshoot. This is similar to the Overcut used with the Blade cartridges. See: Overshoot for Pen. | |
Pen Lines are too Short | |
|---|---|
The Overshoot controls how far past the end of the Line/Arc Segment to apply the Non-Blade Tool (Deboss, Pen or Vinyl). If the Overshoot of the Non-Blade Tool is applied Too Long, Decrease the Overshoot. If the Overshoot of the Non-Blade Tool is applied Too Short, Increase the Overshoot. This is similar to the Overcut used with the Blade cartridges. See: Overshoot for Pen. | |
Set Pen to Plunge Between Pen Line Segments | |
|---|---|
The Plunge function controls whether to Plunge/Unplunge between the Line/Arc Segments of an object when applying a Non-Blade Tool. The Non-Blade Tool leaves a Dot where it plunges, select Unplunge. The Non-Blade Tool takes Too Long to apply, select Plunge. This is different from the Plunge Count which controls the number of Blade Plunges for each Blade Cartridge before pausing for a Blade Change. See: Plunge for Pen. | |
Calibrating Different Pens | |
|---|---|
The Pen Cartridge is used to draw onto the surface of the matboard on the CMC to create a design. The Install Pen Utility is used to Calibrate each pen defined in the software. | |
