Changes or modifications, not expressly approved by Summa, which is

responsible for FCC compliance, could void the users authority to operate

this equipment.

SECTION 1

1GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The SummaSign Pro SL T-series family of cutters has been designed to produce

computer-generated graphic designs on cut sheet or roll vinyl media. By

replacing the knife with a ballpoint pen, these cutters can also be used to

produce inexpensive previews of new graphic designs on paper.

This manual is a reference guide for installing and operating the SummaSign Pro

SL T-series cutter models. These cutter models feature a tangential head as

indicated by the “T” prefix to the product designation.

This manual covers the following SummaSign Pro SL T-series cutter models:

•The SummaSign T750 SL, which can handle media widths from 60 mm up to

762 mm (2.4” to 30”)

•The SummaSign T1010 SL, which can handle media widths from 110 mm up to

1020 mm (4” to 40”)

•The SummaSign T1400 SL, which can handle media widths from 110 mm up to

1370 mm (4” to 54”)

•The SummaSign T1600 SL, which can handle media widths from 170 mm up to

1620 mm (4” to 63.8”)

The phrase “Pro SL T-series cutters” is used in this manual to signify information

that pertains to all cutters in this series. The specific model names “T750 SL”,

“T1010 SL”, “T1400 SL”, and “T1600 SL” are used to denote model-specific

information.
