 Importing an Image of Material
a
Attach the material to be photographed to the
mat.
Memo
• The 12" × 24" (305 mm × 610 mm) mat cannot
be used.
• Before attaching the material to the mat, test
attaching an edge of the material to the
adhesive side of the mat.
• Try to attach the part to be cut toward the
middle of the mat.
b
Place the material on a flat surface, and then
photograph it from directly above so that the
entire mat completely fills the camera screen.
Save the photo to the computer.
Note
• Before photographing, attach the material so it
does not cover any area outside of the adhesive
area of the mat.
• Hold the camera as level as possible when
taking the photo.
• When photographing, do not zoom or use a
flash.
• Take the photo so that the entire mat
completely fills the camera screen. If the entire
mat does not completely fill the camera screen,
cutting data cannot be created.
• Make sure that your mat fills the camera screen,
and that surrounding area is not on your screen.
• When photographing, make sure that there are
no other objects or shadows on the mat.
• When photographing a white solid object use a
dark background.
