02 How to Set Up the Laserpoint Vinyl Cutter

If you're using a roll of vinyl slide the media holder (in the back of the machine) so that the roll will centered over the holder.

Place the roll of vinyl on the holder with the open edge going up and facing away from the vinyl cutter

Make sure that the pinch release roll levers are unlocked (i.e. in the down position)

Insert the media under the the pinch rollers through to the front of the machine

In the back, slide the pinch rollers to about one inch from each edge of the media.

Make sure the media is flat and going into the machine as perpendicular as possible.

Lock the pinch rollers by lifting the levers up.

Turn the machine on--the switch is on the left side.

The display will run through startup, then show that it's "On--Line"

Turn on "Jog Mode" by pressing the "On Line" button once

Using the directional buttons, feed the media forwards/backwards and the cutting head left and right until it's where you want to start cutting

It's helpful to note the small red laser dot directly under the cutter when aligning the head and media.

Then press the target button to zero out the starting coordinates
