Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of fire, burns, injury,
electric shocks, rupture, overheating, abnormal odours or smoke.
Always use the recommended AC adapter (EA10682U-120) for the
ddCutter feeder to prevent any damage or failure.
The rated voltage is 110-240V AC 50-60Hz.
Do not touch the F-Mark device during a lightning storm.
Do not use the machine / AC adapter in places of high humidity
Do not overload the power cord.
Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the power cord or plug. Do
not forcibly bend or pull the power cord.
Make sure that the plug is fully inserted in the power outlet. Do not use
an outlet that is loose.
Do not allow the machine / AC adapter / power plug to get wet for
example, by handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages onto
them.
Do not disassemble or modify the F-Mark / AC adapter.
Disconnect the AC adapter and stop using the machine if you notice
abnormal odour, heat, discolouration, deformation or anything
unusual while using it.
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of, injury, electric shocks,
or damages to the ddCutter.
When placing the F-Mark device, allow enough table space, take in
consideration the vibrations generated during operations.
Ignoring to do this might cause the product or part of it to fall out of
position, resulting in possible body injury or malfunction of the
product.
Don not use or store the product is exposed to direct sunlight, water
or oil splashes, salty air or saltwater, dust or humidity, flamable gas.

cut seriously your skin.
Do not approch with your face to the moving arm and moving paper
sheets.
Do not attempt to lubricate the mechanisms.
Do not apply force or object weights on the moving arm.
Lay the power adapter in a position so the green light is visible.
This will alert if the adapter should accidentally go off due to external
effects. If for any reason the green light goes off, disconnect theAC
power cord from the wall.
Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the
power supply from an electric socket.

system.
It allows automatic operations for contour cutting on printed
adhesive sheets or cardboard.
The system is composed by an automatic feeder, a cutting
plotter, a dedicated software with optical detection features and
the exit tray.Amobile lever equipped with vacuum suction cups
lifts the sheets from the inbox tray and inserts them into the
plotter.
The F-Mark feeder is equipped with an internal vacuum pump,
which does not require external air connections.
The system is connected to a computer using a USB cable,
the dedicate software must be installed on a PC running
on Windows OS.
The safety precautions and specification here are referred to
the feeder unit only.
For safety precautions and specifications of the plotter, refer
to the Graphtec CE6000plus manual.

plotter width 70~90cm
The system can be configured with a plotter
different for size and maximum cutting area:
The tabletop length to accomodate the system
is 82cm, the width varies:
CE6000plus-40 with a plotter width of 70cm
CE6000plus-60 with a plotter width of 90cm
Allow 5cm of clearance on the right and left side
to accomodate the power cord an the USB cable.
The larger plotter model does not change the
maximum size of the sheet usable on the feeder.
The larger cutting area is usable when the plotter
is used separately by the feeder.
When you choose a location for the CE6000 ASF system note that
the exit tray extends for 35 cm and must be positioned in a
location free of tight passages to avoid hitting it when walking by.

Cable connection
There are some USB cables and the power adapter that must be connected
before using the system.
Under the feeder there is an USB Hub fixed with a velcro tape for an easy
replacement.
The USB cable coming from inside the feeder is already connected, you
have to connect the cable from the optical camera and from the plotter.
For the CE6000-40 you can use the cable into the F-Mark accessory box.
for the CE6000-60 you have to use the USB cable from the plotter box.
The mini-USB cable goes to the computer, it is not necessary to install
drivers on the computer, you have just to wait until the system mathces the
different devices.
Depending on the computer you may have to wait few seconds up to some
minutes.

Overview and adjustings
On the F-Mark there some knobs that allow some adjustment
depending on the paper size and type.
The side paper guide knob adjusts the opening of the side
giudes accordingly to the media width.
Keep the side guide loose on the media borders.
The rear paper guide knob allows to press the media on the
front of the media tray.
Keep the rear guide tigth against the sheets,
The blowers knob paper
allows to adjust the air stream of the
blowers.
Aproper setting of the blowers speed helps the paper separation,
for adhesive media keep it at minimum or turn the blower off
forcing the knob counterclockwise.
For porous paper you may test different air stream levels, turns
the knob clockwise to increase the air stream. As a rule of the
thumb use a low air stream for curled prints and an higher level for
flat prints.
From the side view you can see Vacuum adjusting knob.
You can turn it clockwise to increase the vacuum force in case
the suction cup does not pick up the sheets.
Turn it counterclockwise when using thin paper and the suction
cups pick up more than one sheet.
To return to the default position turn the knob all clockwise and
then return back counterclockwise for two turns.

i-Mark Digital Cutting Software
This software has been designed to manage the automation of the cutting process.
There are specic functions to execute kiss cutting, die cutting and creasing simulation.
It allows users to import graphics les in AI and EPS format.
The graphics have to contain two reference marks.
The dedicated video camera connected to the software, detects the crop mark in a fraction of a
second and adapts the cut path to the inclination and distortion of the print.
The software runs with the operating systems Windows 7, 8, 10.
Most of old Windows Seven and XP computers can be used, but not all of them.
The system is connected to the computer through a USB port.
