Brother CM100DM Operation Manual page 65

Symptom
Not all of the material to
be cut is cut. Some
areas remain uncut.
There are deep cuts
completely through the
mat.
Drawing
Symptom
The drawn line is thicker
(thinner) than intended.
Scanning
Symptom
Unwanted images are
scanned.
Scanning cannot be
done cleanly (there are
lines in the scanned
image).
The lines printed on the
mat are scanned.
The scanned image is
red.
Possible Causes (or Results)
An iron-on fabric appliqué contact
sheet is not firmly attached to a
fabric.
The blade extension from the blade
holder is too much.
The cutting pressure ("Cut
Pressure") is incorrect.
Possible Causes (or Results)
The drawing speed ("Draw Speed")
or drawing pressure ("Draw
Pressure") is incorrect.
Possible Causes (or Results)
The scanning area is incorrectly
specified.
The scanner glass is dirty.
The original to be scanned is dirty or
scratched.
The original is transparent so the
lines printed on the mat are being
scanned.
When the optional scanning mat is
used, scanning is performed without
peeling off the blue tape.
Solutions
Iron the entire contact sheet to affix it
firmly to the wrong side of the fabric.
Remove the holder from the carriage, and
then adjust the blade extension.
Adjust the setting for "Cut Pressure" in the
settings screen.
Solutions
Adjust the settings for "Draw Speed" and
"Draw Pressure" in the settings screen.
To draw thicker lines, increase the
drawing pressure. To draw thinner lines,
decrease the drawing pressure.
To draw thicker lines, reduce the drawing
speed. To draw thinner lines, increase the
drawing speed.
After adjusting the settings, perform a trial
drawing operation.
Solutions
In "Scan to USB" mode, specify the paper
size with the "Scan Size" setting.
In "Direct Cut" or "Scan to Cut Data"
mode, trim the image in the editing screen
after scanning.
Clean the scanner glass from the bottom
of the machine.
In "Scan to Cut Data" mode, remove thin
lines or dirt in the image editing screen.
In "Scan to Cut Data" mode, remove the
lines in the image editing screen.
Peel off the blue tape from the optional
scanning mat before scanning.
