Summa D120R: How to reduce speed?

[RG]

Is there a way to slow the speed that the plotter advanced vinyl? I'm not talking about cutting speed. That's not a problem. For example, if I have a 15' job to cut in 48" cut vinyl and the plotter always cuts "holes" first. Let's say that there is a hole at the beginning and a hole at the end of the cut job. I want to slow the speed that the plotter advances from cutting the hole at the beginning to the hole at the end of the cut job. I need more time to make sure the vinyl doesn't get crinkled and crooked in the catch basket. Here is what the owner's manual says under "How to set the cutting speed": "There is one fixed speed: the speed at which the cutter pulls the media from the roll. This speed is fixed at 200 mm/s (8ips)." So, it looks like there is no adjustment for advancing speed. Just want to make sure I'm reading it right. Thanks for any input here.

Use Summa Cutter Control to modify the two parameters: "Up velocity" and "Up acceleration". By default they are set to DEFAULT.
The changes are applied only to the current user/configuration.

I learned something new today. I'm sure there should be a setting on the Graphtec as well. I'm going to check it out. Thanks!

By default they are set to DEFAULT.

ops: by default they are set to AUTO. It means that the two parameters are automatically set according to the cutting velocity.

sorry
