Caution
●
Be particularly careful with the
cutter blade when changing the
blade adjustment cap or mounting
the blade holder in the Craft ROBO.
●
Graphtec does not guarantee the
cutting quality when non-genuine
Craft ROBO media is used.
Using non-standard media may void
the warranty.
When using a ballpoint pen, be
sure to use a narrow one. In
addition, confirm that the tip of
the pen protrudes 3 to 3.5 mm
from the ballpoint pen holder.
Please refer to the Craft ROBO
User’s Manual (CD-ROM) for
further details on the ballpoint
pen types that can be used.
When loading an
A4-size sheet, align
it with the guideline
indented on the
Craft ROBO’s front
guide.
To cut a sheet smaller than A4 size or a sheet without a
protective liner, affix it to the carrier sheet included with the
Craft ROBO before performing cutting.
Peel off the liner from the center of the
carrier sheet, and then affix the sheet for
cutting to the adhesive surface.
To cut regular A4-size media, peel off the
liner strips from both sides of the carrier
sheet as well prior to use.

Mount the blade holder in the Craft ROBO.
If you are using media that does not require the carrier sheet, mount the blade
holder while making sure that the protrusion on the holder faces the front and that it
is aligned with the notch in the clamp bracket.
If you are using the carrier sheet, turn the protrusion on the holder 90 degrees to the
right so that it fits against the protrusion on the clamp bracket.
The most suitable blade adjustment cap is automatically displayed when the media
type is selected from the “Media Type” drop-down box in the Craft ROBO Controller.
