Calibration
Prior to your first use of your Cricut Imagine
™
, the machine will run three calibra-
tion routines. There are instructions on the screen which will direct you through
each calibration process.
The first calibration is a screen calibration and will not require any printing or cut-
ting. The next two calibrations will require you to put a 12
"
x 12
"
white piece of
paper on the mat and insert the mat into the machine. For assistance in mount-
ing paper on the mat for the first time, please see instructions on page 13. After
inserting the second piece of 12
"
x 12
"
white paper and the cut and print are
complete, the Cricut Imagine
™
will ask you to select a number and letter for which
the printed lines are cut most accurately. Click test Cut and the machine will begin
cutting. Examine the cut in the center of the page to determine if the cut stayed
inside the printed line. If the cut was successful in staying inside the printed line,
click the
Accept button. If the cut was outside of the printed lines, select repeat
to run the test again. For more information on the Print & Cut calibrations, see the
instructions on page 32.
