switching the power off before switching it back on.
Switch on the power switch on the left side of the PNC-900.
• Loading the Sheet
Sheets with a width (horizontal dimension) of 50 mm (1-15/16") to 305 mm (12") can be loaded. There is no particular
restriction on sheet length (vertical dimension). This means that either cut sheets or roll sheets can be used.

The tool carriage moves when the SETUP key is pressed. Take care to ensure that your
hands or other objects do not become caught in the moving parts. Be sure to raise the
sheet loading lever before attempting to move it. Never attempt to force the sheet loading
