Check out the quick-start version of instructions below. We've taken these from the Roland CAMM 1 GS-24 user manual.
- Lower the loading Lever located in the back left side of the machine. Do not use excessive force, handle gently.

- Place your desired roll of paper on the counter behind the machine. Feed the paper from the back through the front similar to the first image shown on this page. Both edges of the paper and the outer pinch rollers should be aligned.

- Raise the loading lever
- Turn on the machine
- Select material to use, either “roll”, or “piece” Allow it to automatically measure the paper size.
- If this is your first time using the machine, run a test print. Press & hold the “TEST” for about 2 seconds and a small cross should cut. Ensure cutting blade will cut through the vinyl, but not the paper backing. Adjust the paper and pen force accordingly. Press the down arrow to feed paper forward. Cut a horizontal line across, cutting the test print off.
- Open the file in Adobe Illustrator.
- Move the image to meet the lower left hand corner of the white page.
