Patent ID: 8156852

Claim:
A cut target medium driving type cutting plotter, in which a cut target medium to be cut is driven in a first direction and a cutting unit is driven in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby moving the cutting unit in a two-dimensional direction relative to the cut target medium to make the cutting unit to be selectively brought into press contact with and separated from the cut target medium to cut the cut target medium in a desired shape, the cut target medium driving type cutting plotter comprising: a cut target medium supporting sheet to removably support the cut target medium on a surface opposite to the cutting unit, wherein the cut target medium is driven in the first direction together with the cut target medium supporting sheet, the cut target medium supported on the cut target medium supporting sheet is cut by the cutting unit, the cutting unit is configured by a control unit to cut to a predetermined cutting depth not completely through the cut target medium supporting sheet, the predetermined cutting depth is configured based upon a compression pressure of a cutting pen on the cut target medium and a projection amount of a blade of the cutting pen selected by a user, the desired shape is completely cut by the cutting unit, a face of the cut target medium supporting sheet, the face being configured to support the cut target medium, includes: a first mark configured to facilitate positioning of the cut target medium; and a second mark configured to facilitate matching of the cut target medium with a coordinate axis, wherein the second mark is a grid-shaped graph paper scale.
