Compatible models : FC9000 / CE8000 / FCX4000 / FCX2000 / CE7000 / CE6000 PLUS / CE LITE / FC8600
In the FC9000 / CE8000 / FCX2000 / FCX4000 / CE7000, the first four marks are scanned on the first sheet, and only the first mark in subsequent sheets. Graphtec Studio 2 is able to configure FCX2000 / FCX4000 to execute copy in this condition. This improves productivity by shorting scan detection time.

Supported by standard crop marks
Cutting is aligned to the printed graphic by printing the industry standard crop marks. Adding special marks with Graphtec software is not necessary. Cutting Master 5 is able to get information of crop mark from Adobe Illustrator and send it to FCX2000.
