Is the media loaded and set up correctly?
If the media is not loaded and set up correctly, or media feed is not smooth, cutting may be adversely
affected. Make sure the media is loaded and set up correctly.

Are the settings for the cutting conditions appropriate?
Misalignment or skewing may occur if the cutting speed is too fast or the blade force is too high. Try
changing the cutting conditions. With media having a strong adhesive layer, the adhesive layer reattaches
to itself immediately after cutting. However, if a cutting test shows that the peeling of the media and the
blade traces on the backing paper are optimal, then the media is being cut properly. Be careful not to
make the blade force too high.

Is the length of output too long?
For printing & cutting in particular, the longer the page length (that is, the longer the distance the media
is returned after printing), the greater is the chance of misalignment occurring. It is a good idea to keep
the size of each single page to the minimum necessary.
Are you using media that exhibits large expansion and contraction?
When you're performing printing & cutting, misalignment occurs if the media expands or contracts. If this
happens, try performing printing with crop marks, then setting the base point and one or more align points
and performing cutting. This corrects for expansion and contraction of the media.
