Notes:

  • Do not move the contour after printing. Otherwise, this will lead to an unprecise cutting result.
  • Ensure the cutting mat is placed properly, or you need to reload it.
  • Glossy paper may interfere with the machine's ability to read the cut sensor marks; Use paper with a matte finish instead.
  • Recommended to use A4--21.0×29.7 cm (8.27x11.69 inches) and Letter--21.59x27.94 cm (8.50x11.00 inches) paper sizes for Print and Cut.

FAQs:

Cannot cut the contour precisely?

  • Click "Help" - "Machine Calibration" to calibrate your machine.
  • Replace a new blade if the original one is broken or dull.
  • Contact customer service for help if there are further questions.
