The cut line is not centered on the printed object.

If your cut line is not centered on the object and is not skewed you can move the

entire cut by entering custom settings for your cutter offset. To enter the custom

settings for your Press, open the PressPrint software. Then, click on the Cut menu

and select Cutter Settings. The Primera Cutter window appears.

Enter the custom values noted on the sheet labeled "Cutter Settings" or on the

printer's rear panel label, and select OK.
The Pressure option controls the overall cut pressure applied by Press's cutter.

Once entered, this setting should not need to be changed. Instead, when adjusting

for the various types of print media, use only the Cutting Pressure slide on the

front of Press. See Section 3-D for information on when and how to adjust the

Cutting Pressure slide.
The X Offset and Y Offset options fine-tune the position of the overall cut line. If

these values are slightly inaccurate, the cut line will not appear centered around

the printed image. The X Offset dictates the position of the cut line along a fixed

horizontal axis and is measured in thousandths of an inch from the left-hand side

of the page to the left-hand edge of the first cut line. Therefore, increasing the X

Offset moves the overall cut line further away from the left-hand side of the page

and decreasing it moves it closer (Hint: 100 thousandths of an inch equals .1" or

2.54mm).
The Y Offset dictates the position of the cut line along a fixed vertical axis and is

measured in thousandths of an inch from the top of the page to the top edge of the

first cut line. Therefore, increasing the Y Offset moves the overall cut line down

from the top edge of the page and decreasing it moves it up (Hint: 100 thousandths

of an inch equals .1" or 2.54mm).
