Preparing Printer

  1. Turn on the printer
    1. Switch located bottom left of the printer.
  2. Lift the lever located on right(back) and slide in the vinyl paper.
    1. You should hear the printer “turn on” when they vinyl is inserted and covering the sensor.
  3. Adjust the wheels making sure they are under the white line markers and on each end of the vinyl paper.
    1. The wheels can only be moved from the back (lift lever, then move wheels from behind)
    2. Moving from the front damages the wheel
    3. Move the cutter all the way to the left
  4. Lower the lever
  5. Hit the Down arrow on the printer
    1. The printer will size the paper and take notes.
    2. Gently hold the vinyl as it is moved backwards and forwards
  6. Use the arrows (up, down, left, right) to individually adjust the “origin” of the needles
    1. The origin is the bottom-left most point in the image
    2. The origin can be moved for account for tears in the vinyl or cut sections of the vinyl
