Taking a Picture

Before taking a picture, place the printed pattern you are using on the table. Make sure the pattern is fully flat by using the vacuum.

When ready to take a picture, press the PrintShot button in the Plot/Cut Tab, or press F10.

Acceptable Pattern Area

When taking a picture, all the Register Markers must be in a certain area of the table. This area is highlighted by a green box.

Acceptable area

If not all the Register Markers are in this box or not all Register Markers were found, you will not be able to send the job to the machine.

Register markers not found

If you try to send a job when not all Register Markers were found, this popup will appear.

You can move the printed pattern so that all the Register Markers are inside the green box and retake the picture using the Retake Image button.

Taking The Picture

When lining up a printed pattern that is longer than the table, the beginning of the pattern will have to lie in a long narrow green box.

If the three corner dots are not in the correct position, you will see a yellow bar with arrows indicating the direction to move the print. Once it is in the correct position you use the Retake Image button to capture a new image.
