Preparing Printer
- Turn on the printer
- Switch located bottom left of the printer.
- Lift the lever located on right(back) and slide in the vinyl paper.
- You should hear the printer “turn on” when they vinyl is inserted and covering the sensor.
- Adjust the wheels making sure they are under the white line markers and on each end of the vinyl paper.
- The wheels can only be moved from the back (lift lever, then move wheels from behind)
- Moving from the front damages the wheel
- Move the cutter all the way to the left
- Lower the lever

- The printer will size the paper and take notes.
- Gently hold the vinyl as it is moved backwards and forwards
- Use the arrows (up, down, left, right) to individually adjust the “origin” of the needles
- The origin is the bottom-left most point in the image
- The origin can be moved for account for tears in the vinyl or cut sections of the vinyl
- Vinyl Paper can be located on a rack located next to the Laser Etching, if you can't find it ask a staff member!
