Values in Inches
If you want to enter values in inches in all modes which require a numeric entry, set Inch 
Entry to [On] in Common Settings (from the Additional Functions screen). (See “Common 
Settings,” on p. 12‑6.) This enables you to enter values in inches when you press [Inch] on a 
screen requiring a numeric entry or measurement.
The default entry mode for numeric values is inches, but you can change it to millimeters by 
turning the Inch Entry mode [Off ].
The following example shows you how to enter 5 1/2" for X value in the Irregular Size mode.

You can enter only 2, 4, 8, or 16 as the 
denominator.
The value entered in inches is converted 
to millimeters by the machine each time 
it is entered. Thus, there may be a slight 
difference between the value calculated 
and the actual value entered.
To enter values in millimeters, press [mm].
