Notes

  • Do not use aerosol sprays near the machine. The spray products may become attached to the machine, causing damage.
  • Do not attach adhesive materials to any part of the mat outside of the attaching area (grid) or to the back side of the mat. Otherwise, adhesive will become attached to the rollers, causing damage.
  • When attaching material to the mat, do not allow it to extend from the attaching area. Otherwise, the mat may not be fed correctly.
  • Do not affix masking tape, etc., over the scanning marks. Otherwise, the mat may not be correctly detected.
