Installation

Unpack the Cutter

This procedure requires two people. Carefully remove the cutter
from the box and place it on a flat, stable surface. Check the Packing
List to ensure that all of the accessories are present. Save all packing
materials and the box.

Assembly

Refer to the SmarTrac Quick Start Guide for directions on assem-
bling the cutter.
If you purchased the SmarTrac with a stand or table-top cradle,
you'll find assembly directions and hardware in the Accessory Kit.
Assemble and attach the stand or cradle to the cutter before attempt-
ing to plot. Make sure the media rollers (media shaft on the SC-72)
are properly installed and that the cutter is facing the correct direc-
tion. Place a level on top of the cutter and adjust the stand leveling
feet as required to level the stand.

Prepare the Area

Prepare a large clean area to work. Make sure the floor or table top
is free of debris and clear of any obstacles. Pull the cutter away from
the wall so the material can move freely.

Connect the Cutter to the Computer

With power off on the machine and PC, connect the SmarTrac to the
computer with either a USB or serial cable. A USB cable is provided
in the Accessory Kit. Install the included power cord in the cutter
and plug it into a wall outlet.
