Cutting the Contour on a Hybrid Device
If you are using a hybrid device, the contour will be cut automatically after
printing.
Cutting the Contour as a Separate Job
If you send the print and cut data as separate jobs, the software will output
the print job first. The cut job will be put in the queue of the selected
cutting device, and its status will be set to Holding. You can then load the
output media from the printer into the cutting device and send the cut job
to the device.
In order for the contour to line up properly on the print job, you must align
the cut job to the printed output using either automatic alignment or
manual alignment.

Alignment

print job.
4 Align the cutting head over the first automatic registration mark
(lower right if not marked) using the controls on the front panel
of the cutter.
5 Click OK to cut the contour.
Cutting the Contour on a Manually Aligned Cutter

2 Remove the output media from the printer and load it into the
cutter. Make sure the output media is straight, and align the
