2.07 Cut Type

 There are three modes in controlling where images will cut to the KNK. They are called:

 Knife Point: Moves the shapes to cut at the origin you have set on the cutter itself. Use the blade tip to
set the origin for cutting.
 WYSIWYG: Cuts the shapes where they are positioned on the Virtual Mat. Set the origin either at the
corner of the cutting mat or at the corner of the material (as described later in this section).
 Print and Cut: Cuts shapes relative to registration marks printed on your printer. Refer to Chapter 9 for
complete instructions on the print and cut process.

Knife Point

 This is the mode recommended for most applications as it economizes the use of your cutting materials.
 Shapes can be located anywhere on the screen, including outside the Virtual Mat. The shapes will be
moved and cut to where you set the origin on the material. The origin is set using the position of the blade
tip.
 When more than one shape will be cut, the shape closest to the origin will be cut at the origin and any other
shapes will be cut the distance and direction from that shape as positioned on the screen. The following
figures show examples of where images will cut. Note that it doesn’t matter whether you choose Portrait or
Landscape modes for the Virtual Mat. The shapes will cut in the same relative locations on the material.
Use the arrow on the Virtual Mat as a guide to the direction to insert the actual mat or material into your
KNK.
