TROUBLESHOOTING
The pressure rollers (2) press the vinyl firmly against
the friction drive rolls (5). For this reason it is
possible that, after some time, the friction drive rolls
(5) become clogged with accumulated residue from
cutting media. This can cause slippage of the
material, resulting in inaccurate cuts or incorrect vinyl
transport.
Therefore it is a good habit to clean the drive rolls
regularly.
To do this you can use a brush and rotate the rolls
manually to make sure that they are thoroughly
cleaned.
