Tips on how to use (After Certified)
Loading the Media.
- Raise the lever on the upper back right of the machine
- Slide in the media. It helps to have a rectangular piece so the machine can recognize the size. Center it over some of the grooved rollers so they are as close to the edges as possible.
- Slide the pinch rollers from behind over the grooved roller you chose.
- Lower roller with the lever.
- Read the display and push the arrow button for the type of media you are loading. For a single sheet (not a roll), for example you would press the right arrow (see screen shot below)
Importing
The Software used is CoCut Professional 2014. We not longer use the software that came with the cutter.
The software does not import svgs, but does import Adobe Illustrator files. Open your SVG in Illustrator and resave it as an .ai file. Then import your file into CoCut Pro.
Cutting
When your graphic is ready to cut, click the File...Cut/Plot menus. This should bring up a couple of new windows. One is the Production Manager. This may show some older, incomplete jobs from failed attempts. Delete those old jobs.
The other window shows your setup. Note the orientation of your job. You may want to rotate it to fit the orientation of your vinyl in the plotter. Use the turned stick man button at the bottom to do this.
Make sure you set the size of your vinyl.
Purchasing Materials
New Materials can be purchased locally through Rayco near Peterson and Pulaski, the plotter size is 24 inches.
- Economy/Intermediary stock is for the majority of projects and has an expected life of 3 years
- High performance stock is intended for cars and boats and has an expected life of 7 years.
