| 1 | The CMC will do an interference check to see if any of the finger-clamps are in the way of the current cut sequence. |  |
| 2 | If any of the finger-clamps are in the way, the light above the specific finger-clamp on the board will flash red and the screen will identify which finger-clamp number needs to be rotated out of the way before you cut the mat. See Z1 Head LED Behavior and Z1 LED Clamp Behavior for information on the LED head and clamp indicators. |  |
| 3 | To rotate the finger clamp out of the way, push the indicated clamp toward the board to release the pressure. |  |
| 4 | Rotate the indicated clamps so that they are facing away from the center of the board. |  |
| 5 | When the clamps are engaged, they will be retracted flush with the board. |  |
| 6 | For the next cutting job, the clamps should be rotated back toward the center of the board to hold down the next mat. | |

If it passes the Interference check it will continue to the Alignment check. Make sure that the Pen, Vinyl andCrease tools are not in the foot block. |  |
