    new countour cutter wont cut ??

    Did research on my own and found out the problem . Cut/mask prob and fixed it and did a contour cut yippie . Now another prob , when i load the paper i line it up with the first laser , but when i jog it to the left it doesnt jog on to the left reg mark in the middle , Like its off a little so when i cut the cut is off a little. Is there a jog button that moves only a little ? How do i fix this ? THanks
  24. Hey got it going but one problem , cant seem to line up the second reg mark . When jog it to the left it jogs to much so i cant hit the middle precisely . Any ideas ?
  25. Great vid . Too bad no sound instructions though one question ,Does it automatically print out those registration marks for you ?
