When you load a job that does not have a cutting mat into the cameo 3 machine simply press the load button on your touch screen.
Load media load mat cameo 3.
When loading a cutting mat into your silhouette align the mat with the white rollers.
After it is done cutting unload the material.
The cameo 3 load options are determined by which mat is specified in the design page settings of the silhouette studio software.

If you are using a sheet of vinyl most often you will cut using a mat.
The cameo 3 just has a load and unload button only.
Do you have a cameo 2 or cameo 3.
To turn the mat on or off go to design page settings cutting mat and then select the mat you are using or not using.
Now select load on your cameo 3.
I had the same thing happen to me and i was so frustrated.
I like to cut most of my vinyl without a mat because the majority of the time i am using rolls of vinyl instead of sheets.
Make sure the arrow on the top of the mat is pointing into the machine.
Use the blue line on the left hand side of your machine as a guide to align your mat.

There is no load media button on the machine only load and unload buttons.
Your machine will roll your mat into the cutting area.

How to load vinyl without a mat.
Select load cut mat from the display.
When you remove the cutting mat from your file in silhouette studio the machine knows that you are cutting without a mat and will advance your material into the machine at the correct distance.
Line the mat up with the blue line on the left hand side of your machine.
Adjust the blade if necessary and click send.
Under the send panel select your material type.
Now it seems so simple.
Quick video showing proper alignment of the cutting mat on both the silhouette cameo 3 and cameo 4 machines.
Make sure you select load media and not load cut mat if you use cameo 2.
If you are cutting media without using a cutting mat select none in the cutting mat options.
