In the print screen you will see the calibration image appear, click Print.

Step 3 - Go to the Calibration Page

Once printed go back to the calibration page. If it does not automatically send you to the calibration page, re-click the send icon.

Step 4 - Load the Test Page into your Machine

Place your test page onto the mat and load into your machine. Align the blade holder with the blue arrows to move it to the top left corner of each cross and click calibrate.

Repeat this and follow the prompts. Once finished click Exit.
