It could malfunction or result in a re, electric shock, or injury.
●
Neverputahandoranobjectintoacuttersection.
It can both cause machine damage and personal injury.
●
Usethesuppliedpowercord.
Not using it could result in a re or electric shock.
●
Obtainpowerdirectlyfromanelectricaloutlet.Do
notputmultipleloadsontheelectricaloutlet.
It could cause a re.
●
Donotmodifythepowercord.
Doing so could cause a re or electric shock.
●
Neverplaceaheavyobjectonapowercord.
It may damage the cord, resulting in a re or electric
shock.
●
Donotuseabundledpowercord.
The emitted heat may cause a re or malfunction.
Be sure to unbundle the power cord before use.
●
Donotconnectordisconnectapowerplugwitha
wethand.
You could receive an electric shock.
●
Donotoperatethemachinewithwethandsorwetclothes.
You could receive an electric shock.
●
Donotplaceapaperclothonthemachinewhenitis
connectedtoanoutlet.
Doing so could cause a re or malfunction.
●
Whendisconnectingthepowerplug,holditdirectly;
neverpullonthepowercord.
Pulling on the cord can damage it, resulting in a re or
electric shock.
●
Ensurethatnowaterorchemicalsaresplashed
overthemachines.
If water, etc., gets inside for some reason, disconnect the
power plug immediately from the electrical outlet, and
contact your dealer for repair. If the machine
is used in
such a state, it could malfunction or result in a re or
electric shock.
●
Donotusethemachineifithasasymptomofaproblem.
Such as smoke, abnormal sound, or foul odour.
Using the machine in such a state could result in a re
or electricshock.
Insuchacase,immediatelydisconnectthepower
plugfromtheelectricaloutlet,andcontactyour
dealerforrepair.
●
Neverdisassembleorremodelthemachine.

●
Runthemachineonlyontheindicatedsupply
voltage.
Use of any other voltage could result in a re or trouble.
● Besuretogroundthemachine.
Otherwise, if a short circuit occurs, a re or electric
shock may result.
● Cleanthepowerplugperiodically.
Dust accumulated over a long period could cause a re
or trouble.
●
Keepthecuttingtool(blade)outofthereachof
children.

Machine Preparation
AdjustingtheCuttingPressure
Cutting depth is adjusted by changing the blade pressure (cutting pressure).
The blade may cut too much or fail to cut depending on the type of material, temperature, and so on.
Therefore, we recommend advance testing and adjustment of the cutting pressure.
Anappropriatecuttingpressureleavesaslighttraceonthereleaseliner.
■ If the tape is not properly cut and cannot be
peeled off, the cutting pressure is set too low.
Increase the dial value, in steps of half
a graduation, so that the tape will be cut
properly.
High
■ If the release paper has also been cut (as
far as the back of the release paper), the
cutting pressure is too high.
Decrease the dial value, in steps of half
a graduation until the release paper is no
longer cut.
Low
CAUTION
Adjustthecuttingpressurebeforeuse.
Continuing to use the machine with excessive cutting pressure can reduce the service life of the
cutting tool (blade).
It would also cut the release paper and could cause the machine to malfunction.

Machine Preparation
ConnectingtheCableandTurningOnthePower
1
Connect the power cord to the power connector.
(Load the tape, rellable ribbon cartridge, and
blade in advance.)
3
4
Connect the CPM-200 to the PC with the
connection cable.
Press the power button to turn the power on.
A green lamp will illuminate.
2
Insert the power plug into an electrical outlet.
Know the remaining tape length by checking the holes!
You can check the remaining length by comparing the length between the origin hole
and the remaining length hole on the edge of the tape.
[
Alternative method
]
Check the remaining tape without the ruler by using the sprocket
holes. Starting with “zero” at the closest sprocket hole to the right of
the origin point, count the holes until you reach the remaining length
hole. The number of sprocket wholes × 1meter is the approximate
remaining tape length.
①
Align the origin point on the rulerwith the origin hole on the tape
roll. (The ruler is printed on the individual box of the tape roll.)
②
Check the position of the remaining length hole on the same ruler
(in meters). In the example, as the remaining length hole is
positioned between “9” and “10” , the remaining length is more
than 9 meters and less than 10meters.

Preperation(weeding)
When your CPM-200 has nished cutting letters, use
the following instructions to prepare your letters for
transfer.
1
Remove the unneeded parts of the tape after the
CPM-200 has nished cutting, and the sheet has
dropped out of the machine.
Weed the parts with the slanted lines in the picture below.
* Use the tweezers included with the printer to remove
the unneeded pieces.
DesignTransfer
In order to tranfer your design, use the Application
Sheet(SL-L100AP).
1
Cut the application sheet to the appropriate
size(slightly larger than your design). Remove the
application sheet from its backing and apply over
your design. Be careful not make wrinkles when
applying the application sheet, as it may distort your
design.

Applyingcut-letterstoasurface
Please be careful of the following three things: allignment, air bubbles, and material stretching (stretched materials
do not regain shape). Depending on the size of the letters, dry application or wet application should be used
appropriately. (Big letters use wet application)
DryAplicationMethod(Lessthan50cm/6in)
1
While the design is attached to the paper backing,
align it with the application surface and apply tape to
mark the surface alignment.
2
Fold back about 2cm (1/2 in) of the tip of the paper
backing.
