	If a mat is not used, make sure that the mode change lever is set to the ▼ position.
	Make sure that the end of the mat is not curled. If it is curled, replace the mat with a new one.
	Make sure that the leading edge of the material is not curled. If it is 12" (305 mm) width curled material, install the Feed Supporter, and then feed the material. For other size, use the mat to feed the material. If Your Material Has a Curled Leading Edge
The mat’s adhesive strength has decreased, and the material does not stick to it.
	If material cuttings, scraps, or dust remain attached to the mat, clean it. Cleaning the Mat
	Replace the mat with a new one.
The material extends from the adhesive area of the mat and not properly secured.
	Re-attach the material so that it fits within the attaching area (grid) on the adhesive side of the mat. Attaching Material to the Mat

Material attaches to the feed rollers.
	Material with a non-slip surface may attach to the feed rollers during feeding, causing the material to feed incorrectly. Use a mat for this material. Cutting or Drawing Using a Cutting Mat
Material remains inside the machine and cannot fed (with Simple Matless Cutting)
	If the material cannot be fed with (Feed Button) and remains inside the machine, the material may be shorter than the length that can be feed. Unlock both shaft release lever and raise the mode change lever, then remove the material. Use material that is compatible with Simple Matless Cutting or use the cutting mat.
