Introduction

The following procedures mainly apply to the use of roll media. If you are using sheets, there
are two options:
1.
For long sheets: roll up the sheet, so that the alignment is identical to the one of a roll.
2.
For short sheets: the alignment is not so important. If the sheet is cut off perpendicularly,
it can be aligned to the front border.
Proper movement of the media will only occur if the media is driven by the two outer pinch
rollers, which are correctly located over two grit rollers.
The pinch rollers are lowered or raised simultaneously using the pinch roller lever arm, located
on the right-hand side of the cutter. The pinch rollers must be lifted to allow vinyl loading,
during which the media is fed from the rear of the cutter to the front. When raised, the pinch
rollers can be moved manually to the left or the right along the pinch roller shaft.
ATTENTION:
Always make sure that the pinch rollers are fully raised before sliding
them to the left or right.
Always hold the assembly at the side of the pinch roller to move it from left to
right. Do not reposition the pinch roller by holding the assembly at the rear of the
machine.
The pinch rollers MUST be positioned correctly and lowered onto the media before an
automatic load sequence is initiated. Make sure all the pinch rollers are positioned above a grit
roller. The outer left pinch roller should be positioned in one of the detents (click position),
situated right under a white triangular label. The outer right pinch roller should be positioned
somewhere over the long grit roller. Click positions are located at the edges of the grit roller
(area marked with a white triangular label).

POSITION PINCH ROLLER
ATTENTION:
Always leave the pinch rollers in the “up” position when the cutter is
not in use. Leaving the pinch rollers in the “down” position for a long time will
result in a flat spot in the pinch rollers, which will seriously [negatively] affect
tracking performance and cutting quality.
NOTE:
When the pinch rollers are raised during a job, the cutter will immediately
stop and move the carriage to the right side.
