Fold the template in half along the cut dotted line, and 
then attach the template to the mat so that the fold is 
aligned with the bottom edge of the attaching area of the 
mat.

• If the template is attached aligned with both the left and right 

sides of the mat, it may not be scanned.

j

Sandwich the material (side to be embossed facing down) 
between the two halves of the folded template, 
positioning the pattern at the desired location.

• Region embossing cannot be performed with metal sheets.
• When sandwiching the material, align it with the dotted line 3 

mm from the fold in the template.

• If necessary, secure the material with commercially available 

masking tape, etc. Affix the masking tape so it does not overlap 
the pattern.

k

Cut the scanning support sheet to a size that covers the 
template.

l

Peel the backing off the scanning support sheet, and then 
attach it to the mat so that it covers the template.

• Attach the scanning support sheet so there are no bubbles or 

wrinkles between it and the template. If there are bubbles or 
wrinkles or the template is not firmly attached, scanning may 
not be completed correctly.

m

Feed in the mat, and then scan according to the on-screen 
instructions. From the LCD display screen, select an area 
so only the lines to be embossed will be detected.

• If scanning cannot be completed correctly, refer to 

“Troubleshooting” on page 10 of this manual.

n

Without feeding out the mat, slowly peel off the scanning 
support sheet away from you, making sure not to move or 
press down on the mat with your fingers.

• If the mat is fed out, the embossing data will be misaligned and 

embossing cannot be completed correctly.

• In order to re-use the peeled scanning sheet, reattach the 

backing peeled off in step 

l

 before storing it.

o

Fold open the template toward you.
