Avoid using craft paper or fabric covered with decorative layer (that can easily separate), such as lamé or foil. The separate layer may stick to the machine’s scanning device or feed rollers during operation, resulting in damage to the machine. It may also damage the cutting blade.
If such media is used or tested it is recommended to clean the scanner glass at the bottom of the machine after every use. ( For details, see  “Cleaning the Scanner Glass”.)

  • Some fabrics with uneven surfaces can be cut if turned upside down.
