[SX-12/8 Load Check]

Make sure that the load when pulling the Carriage with
Tension Gauge (ST-001) is less than 6.6N (675gf).
(If the load is not the rated value, fix the Carriage motor to
the part where the gear engage the strongest and check the
load again.)

PULL

Backlash Adjustment is done automatically by the strength of the Spring.

However, it is necessary to check the load with the SX-12/8 because the motor torque
of the SX-12/8 is smaller than that of the SX-15.
When the load is bigger than the rated value, the loose-step could occur.

Connect the Carriage Motor Cable to the CN6 on the Main

Board.

Peel off the Cutter Protection from the machine and remove
it.
Using a commercially available cutter knife or the like may
make peeling easier.
As for the SX-15, raise the left and right sheet adjustment
levers and remove the Cutter Protection.

Use a cloth or the like to wipe away any remaining

adhesive on the machine.

REFERENCE

OUTLINE
Blade used on the SX has offset and therefore, tip is shifted
from its center. When the offset setting done on SX doesn't
match with the blade offset, offset correction won't be done.
Therefore, the starting and ending points won't match because
the direction of the blade slightly shifts from the correct
direction.
When Blade Holder is set loose to Carriage, the blade tip
becomes very shaky when cutting and results in distorted
figure.

Sect.3[Cutter
Protection_Repla
cement]

Cutter Protection is where the blade lands for cutting. If there is

scratch in the Cutter Protection, blade can not rotate smoothly
and cause the starting and ending points to be shifted.
When blade tip wears out, offset will be changed. Therefore, as
same as 1, the starting and ending point won't match especially
when cutting circles.
There are bearings inside the Blade Holder. When the bearings
don't rotate smoothly, direction of the blade slightly shifts from
the correct direction and therefore, starting and ending points
don't match.
When Motor Gear is meshed too tight or too loose, Tool
Carriage and Grit Roller will be driven unstable and results in
starting and ending points to shift.

Cutter Protection is where the blade lands for cutting. If there is

scratch in the Cutter Protection, blade is caught by the sheet
because it sticks deeper into the sheet and results in stitch cut.

CHECK POINT

ACTION

REFERENCE

OUTLINE
The most effective measure against media shifting is to set the
media straight to the machine. Small tilting of the media when
setting it up could result in big shifting especially doing long
print. As for the SX-15/12, please make sure to lower the Sheet
adjustment lever.

Cleaning

When dust as pieces of media is stick to the feeding place,

making contact with the dust during the cutting and results in
media shifting.

Grit Roller is dirty.

Clean the Grit Roller.

When dust such as pieces of Media is stick to the Grit Roller,

power to hold the sheet will be weakened and results in media
shifting. Use brush to clean the Grit Roller.

Pinch Roller is
wearing out.

Replace the Pinch

Roller.

When the Pinch Rollers wear out, power to hold the media will
be weakened and results in media shifting.
