Hello,
1) Everything matches up as far as registration marks on software, print and cutter.
2) Yes, loading based on registration marks lining up to straight edge of cutter.
3) Check.
I've gotten a bit further in this journey.
I kept throwing error E04012 : Exceed cutting area during -x detection.
So I decided to turn the whole print 90 degrees and rotate it in cutting master 3 it reads registration marks perfect nearly every time, contour cutting is almost perfect, along with perf cut. It's still a bit off randomly.
This "temp solution" however won't work in all scenarios.
The solution in the manual doesn't lend much other than "exceeded detection area while detecting the registration mark. Solution: chekc the media. check the print postion of the registration mark.
Also I printed with the H segment type 2 registration marks to try to better adjust cutting... My Cutting Master 3 locks the rotation at 90degrees and never reads the registration marks correctly.
I figured there would be a learning curve with new pieces of equipment... but this being my 7th cutter I could not have ever imagined these headaches.
