Preparing Printer

  • Turn on the printer (The switch is located on the bottom left side of the printer where the power plug is located)
  • Lift the lever located behind the printer, on the right, and slide the vinyl paper through the back, glossy side up.
  • You should hear the printer “turn on” when the vinyl is inserted and covering the sensor.
  • Adjust the wheels (The wheels should only be moved from the back of the printer to avoid damage), making sure they are under the white line markers (located on the front of the printer) and on each end of the vinyl paper.
  • Warning moving the wheels from the front will cause damage to the device.
  • Lower the lever.
  • Hit the Down arrow on the printer
  • The printer will size the paper and take notes.
  • Gently hold the vinyl from the back (NOT from the front) as it is moves backwards and forwards.
  • Use the arrows (up, down, left, right) to individually adjust the “origin” of the needles. ( This allows you to be able too determined a particular spot you want to print)
  • 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)
  • Lastly don't forget to plug the the cord to the computer. This way when you hit print on the laptop it will inform the printer.


  • Vinyl Paper can be located on a rack located next to the Laser Etching, if you can't find it ask a staff member!
