Easy workflow built-up

Tray One will only work in combination with the Summa GoSign software. When creating a job, you must pay attention to the shape and positioning of the registration marks. The specifications are as follows:

• Use a minimum of 4 square marks
• All marks should be aligned and equally distributed – no random placement
• Respect the minimal distance towards the edges of the page

Once the cut file is created according to the above specifications, simply send the job from CorelDraw or Illustrator via plug-ins to the GoSign software. This is how you can proceed:

1. Before processing the first sheet, make sure to position the cutting head above the first registration mark on the sheet.
2. The roll cutter will then automatically search for the other marks and start to cut.
3. When loading the second sheet and so on, the cutter head will look for the marks automatically and feed and cut the number of sheets as defined in GoSign. The cutter will keep cutting until the job is completed effortlessly and without user intervention.

Continuous workflow for small and large volume businesses
The combination of Summa desktop roll cutters with the sheet feeder does not only benefit large volume industries but focuses equally on small volume businesses, such as copy shops and retailers. By using Tray One, workflows will be facilitated considerably, from copy to cut. Each copy/sheet will be cut straightforwardly and easily. Sheet after sheet. For hours in a row.
