Loading media
The following procedures apply mainly to the use of roll media. If you are using sheets, there
are two options:
For long sheets, roll up the sheet so that the alignment is identical to that of a roll.
For short sheets, the alignment is not so important. If the sheet is cut off perpendicularly, it
can be aligned to the front border.
1.6.1 Pinch roller positioning
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 drive sleeves.
The pinch rollers are lowered or raised simultaneously by means of the pinch roller lever arm,
located on the right-hand side of the cutter. The pinch rollers must be lifted to allow vinyl

pinch rollers can be moved manually to the left or the right along the pinch roller shaft.
Always make sure that the pinch rollers are fully raised before sliding

positioned somewhere over the long drive sleeve. Click positions are located at the edges of
the sleeve (area marked with a white triangular label).

The pinch rollers are a kind of emergency stop. If they are raised, then every
