2.08 Serial Port and Test Connection

 Under Serial Port, you select the connection which will be used for connecting your computer to your KNK.
Look for the words “USB Serial Port” if you find that there are more than one listing in the drop menu:

KNK is assigned
to COM 7 This is not the
connection between the
computer and the KNK

 The Test Connection button can be used to verify that your computer is communicating properly with
your KNK. Pressing it should cause a small movement of your blade carriage.

2.09 Important Checklist Before You Cut!

 Do you have your material on the mat and the mat inserted into the cutter? (Note: materials with a backing
sheet, such as vinyl and iron-on transfer do not require a mat for cutting)

 Do you have the mat under the pinch rollers and the levers lowered in the back?
 Have you set the blade length/exposure based on the thickness of the material you are cutting?
 Do you have the blade holder firmly mounted in the blade holder seat and the blade tip at the correct height
above the material?
 Have you set the origin at the front right corner of your material (or where you need the origin to be)?
 Have you set the force? And the velocity?
