Silhouette CAMEO 4 PRO Media Loading Manual

Loading Media into Your Cameo
The Cameo® 4 Pro has a cutting width of up to 24 inches, which means you can create even bigger and better
projects than any other Silhouette cutting machine. However, the 24-inch cutting mat and other wide media can
become misaligned in the machine if it is not loaded correctly. This can lead to poor feeding and inaccurate cuts.
To avoid cutting mistakes due to loading issues, follow these steps to ensure your media is properly aligned, giving
you perfect cuts every time. For more information, refer to our
1. Press Load once before loading any media into the machine. The Load button will blink once, indicating that it
is ready to load media.
Note: We recommend using the auto-load feature of your
Cameo Pro when using wide media. While you may also
load media by pressing the Load button on the front of your
machine, it's important to hold wide media taut so it loads
properly. If the Load button doesn't blink when you press it,
you may have turned off or disabled your machine's
auto-load.
2. Align the left edge of the media or cutting mat with the proper guideline on the left side of the machine. Use
the left-hand guideline with a cutting mat and the right-hand guideline for rolled media.
Note: There is 1.96mm between the cutting guidelines and the non-moving roller, which is the dot on the metal roller bar
in front of the blade carriage, as seen in the left image below. Media with margins, like some rolled vinyl, will be misfed
into the machine if this material line is tilted. In this case, use the left-hand guideline for your media. Or, place the media
onto a cutting mat before feeding it into the machine to ensure accurate cuts.
