PLOTTER(CG160) How to use the HLF without pounce?

So the guy who setup out plotters left and took all his secrets with him - :oops:

We use our plotters (CG-75, 160) to cut stickers (mostly vinyl, sometimes with LAM)

- When we do our parameter cut we noticed that we prefer the HLF track with the softer pad (VS CT1's hard plastic)

However I recently reset our plotters to the factory default - which means the HLF setting is now back to "pouncing"

How can I turn the pounce off, while still using the HLF track?

If I'm understanding correctly, you just want to use the half cut function so that you can cut normally using the half cut tool's softer protections strip? You should be able to go into the tool setting for the Half tool and simply turn off the half cut. That will make it cut like a normal tool mode. You can also just get a soft strip and replace the hard one.
