* You must install Plug-in for Illustrator before proceeding.

Procedure

  1. Start Illustrator.

     

  2. In Illustrator, click Extensions > Roland CutStudio from the Window menu.

    The "Roland CutStudio" palette appears.

     

  3. Open a new document, and then set the artboard.

    Set the document size to be the same as the cutting width displayed on the machine.
    Set a length that is longer than the product that you want to create.

  4. Enter "SALE."

    After you enter the text, change the size of the characters, and then drag the text to the bottom of the document.

     

Position characters and shapes in the lower-left corner of the document.

It is better to position characters and shapes starting from the bottom of the document.
This makes it possible to prevent feeding more of the material than needed.
