5 Introduction Quick Check: Definitions Configurations Guide Like any precision instrument, it is important to keep the Wizard CMC finely tuned. If you've turned to this section it must be because something is cutting "off". Don't worry! By taking the time to follow these steps, you'll soon be back to cutting mats. Measurements are noted in both Imperial and Metric (cm) but screen captures will be in Imperial. Please follow closely the Quick Check listed below. Please use the check list in the order listed below when making adjustments to the Configurations. Blade Depth The Blade Depth must be the correct length for the matboard you are cutting; you must manually turn the Blade Depth Knob to the correct setting and tell the software what that setting is. Otherwise, the Backups and Overcuts will be wrong. See "Measuring the Blade Depth". Section F: Configurations Guide Mark the Mat When Configuring the CMC, put an "X" in the lower left corner of the matboard and opening as it sat in the board so you know which way it was sitting when you pick it up. This makes it easier to determine if it's an Interior/Exterior cut and whether it is an Overcut/Backup. Bevel Type Determine the type of Bevel (Normal, Reverse, V-Groove) you are cutting. Opening Size Is the opening the right size? Left Border/Bottom Border Size Is the left border to the opening (Horizontal Home) or the bottom border to the opening (Vertical Home) the correct size (when cutting/looking from the back)? Outside Size Is the outside cut the right size (when asking the Wizard to cut the outside)? Are you cutting the Outside from the front (any layer with a V-Groove or when "Cut from Front" is selected on the Cut Preview) or from the back? F-5 \Manuals\MatCut53Software\Configurations 08/31/05

6 Wizard International, Inc., th St. SW, PO Box 66, Mukilteo, WA / Fax: 425/ wizardint.com Interior/Exterior Look at the front of the mat to check the quality of cuts. Now look at the back (in the same direction it sat on the CMC) and determine if the problem is an Interior or Exterior cut. Each bevel type has diagrams of Interior/Exterior cuts described. See also "Overcut/Backup". Overcut/Backup Look at the mat to determine if the problem is an Overcut or a Backup. Each bevel type has diagrams of Overcut/Backup cuts described. Swoops/Flares Look at the mat to determine if the problem is a Swoop or a Flare. Each bevel type (except Outside cut) has diagrams of Swoops/Flares. These are adjusted through Rotation per bevel type. Measuring Blade Depth for the 8000/8500 Board NOTE: If you have a 5000 Board (two Gantry Arms), refer to your 5000 Board Hardware Guide on information on measuring the Blade Depth. Do NOT adjust the Blade Depth Screen in the software. Make sure you have 2 layers of disposable matboard of adequate size underneath the mat to be cut. A layer may need to be removed for thicker matboard. Start with the standard type of matboard you use the most. You will be able to repeat the procedure with other types of matboard (Linen, Suede, 8-ply) and label the appropriate Blade Depth for each type of matboard in the Blade Depth Screen. Each time you change the Blade depth by turning the Blade Depth Knob, you must also tell the software what that setting is, otherwise, the Backups and Overcuts will be wrong. Click on the Blade Depth Button (Fig A) on the Cut Preview to access the Blade Depth Screen (Fig B). Enter the new Blade Depth Knob Number under Opening. The Label field allows you to make notes about any particular Blade Depth setting. F-6

7 NOTE: When cutting a V-Groove, these numbers will be displayed on the prompt screen to set Blade Depth Knob to the V-Groove depth. After the V-Groove cuts, you will be prompted to return the Blade Depth Knob to cut openings. Fig A. Fig B. Fig A: Blade Depth button. Fig B: Blade Depth Screen. With the correct Blade Depth setting in the software, the software will automatically adjust Backups and Overcuts of the current configuration to compensate for the mat thickness. Changing the Blade Depth number in the software does not physically adjust the Blade Depth. Blade Depth Dial Numbers Each number on the Blade Depth Knob is.007 of an inch ( 0,178 mm). Each time you change the Blade Depth by turning the Blade Depth Knob, it MUST also be updated in the software. Click on the Blade Depth Button on the Cut Preview to access the Blade Depth Screen. Enter the new Blade Depth Knob Number under Opening. Section F: Configurations Guide Measuring Normal Bevel Depth Have Wizard Mat Designer open to the Main Screen (Fig A). Click Start then Programs (or All Programs) then Wizard (or Wizard 5). Double-Click on the Calibration Files folder then Double-Click on Normal Bevel (Fig B). The Configuration mat is loaded to cut (Fig C). Fig A. Fig B. Fig C. Fig A: Main Screen. Fig B: Select Calibration Files Mat from start-up menu. Fig C: It will load to the Cut Preview. Put in the matboard you cut most often and cut the mat. Look at the mat. Did the Blade cut all the way through the matboard? Or did it cut too deep into the backing mat? We are looking for a Blade setting that cuts the mat and scores lightly into the backing mat. F-7 \Manuals\MatCut53Software\Configurations 08/31/05

8 Wizard International, Inc., th St. SW, PO Box 66, Mukilteo, WA / Fax: 425/ wizardint.com If an adjustment needs to be made, click on the Blade Depth Button (Fig D) on the Cut Preview to access the Blade Depth Screen (Fig E).

If the Blade Depth is too deep, decrease the Blade Depth Knob (Fig F) and Click on the Opening field on the Blade Depth Screen. Change the number to match the Knob. The lower the number, the shallower the cut. If the Blade Depth is too shallow, increase the Blade Depth Knob and Click on the Opening field on the Blade Depth Screen. Change the number to match the Knob. The higher the number, the deeper the cut. Cut the mat again. Keep making adjustments until satisfied. It is best to begin at a shallow setting and arrive at the proper Blade depth by increasing the setting one point at a time. In the Label field next to the correct Opening Blade Depth number, enter a title such as "recommended for paper mat depth" or you may enter the name of the matboard. Blade Depth Dial Numbers Each number on the Blade Depth Knob is.007 of an inch ( 0,178 mm). Setting the Default Blade Depth Click on Defaults on the Main Screen. Under Blade Depth, enter the correct Opening Blade Depth number (as found in the step before) and Click OK (Fig G). OR Click on "Set as Default" button on the Blade Depth Screen.

Increase to make opening wider, decrease to make smaller. Rotation How much the Head will rotate before cutting this particular bevel type. Note that the V- Groove Configuration has two Rotation fields; Inside and Outside. For all bevels cut clockwise: In order to eliminate curves at the beginning of the cut, the Blade must be rotated a few degrees inward. If the beginning of the cut swoops in toward the opening, add rotation to correct it. If the beginning of the cut flares out away from the opening, reduce the rotation. Adjust this value 2 or 3 steps at a time then cut a test mat. This value does not affect circles and ovals. For all bevels cut counterclockwise: In order to eliminate curves from the beginning of the cut, the Blade must be rotated a few degrees inward. This is a counterclockwise cut. If there is a slight angle inward from the Blade entering, reduce the rotation. If the beginning of the cut flares away from the opening, increase the rotation. Adjust this value 2 or 3 steps at a time then cut a test mat. This value does not affect circles and ovals. Fig J: Fig J: Where to adjust for Backups and Overcuts and the Opening Size.
