• Lift the lever, it is located on right(behind of the printer) 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 of the printer, to do so lift lever, then move wheels from behind (sliding motion).
• Warning moving from the front will damage the wheel

1. Now Lower the lever
2. Hit the Down arrow on the printer
   1. The printer will size the paper and take notes.
   2. Gently hold the vinyl from the back (NOT from the front) as it is moves backwards and forwards.
3. 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)
   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
4. Lastly don't forget to plug the the cord to the computer. This way when you print it will inform the printer.
