The HOME position of the carriage is the far left of the cutter, IF you Press TESTCUT
without moving the Tool Carriage, (i.e. whilst at the default HOME location), then the
display will show an ERROR message. (due to the fact the TESTCUT function would

this is not permitted). If you see this error message. Power off your cutter, and then
power on again. Please follow the steps below to perform a TEST CUT.
