Setting the Origin Point

When loading material or installing a cutter, be sure to set the origin point.
The origin point is the reference point for engraving. You set it individually for each piece of material you load.
In the 3D Cutting mode, you separately set the origin point for the vertical and horizontal position of the material and the
origin point for the height (thickness).
Omitting this operation may result in locations other than the material being engraved.

material.

Loosen the retaining screw for the cutter holder and
move the cutter until it touches the material.
Place a piece of material on the adhe-
sive sheet, then press down on it from
above to anchor it securely.
You can place the item anywhere on the ad-
hesive sheet. However, if the plate is placed
at an angle with respect to the table, the
engraving will not be straight. Place it so
that it is aligned straight with the corners
and sides of the table.
Loosen the retaining screw for the cut-
ter holder and move the cutter until it
touches the material.
When the cutter is touching the ma-
terial, tighten the retaining screw for
the cutter holder to secure the cutter
in place.
