Patent ID: 8708590

Claim:
A method, comprising: preparing a paper medium that includes an image-receiving region, a first sticky outer periphery region extending along a length of the paper medium, and a second sticky outer periphery region extending along a length of the paper medium, wherein the image-receiving region is located between the first sticky outer periphery region and the second sticky outer periphery region; loading the paper medium into an electronic cutter such that: a first roller of the electronic cutter directly contacts the first sticky outer periphery region, and, a second roller of the electronic cutter directly contacts the second sticky outer periphery region for driving the paper medium relative to the electronic cutter in a forward direction or a reverse direction; after the loading step, utilizing one or more components of the electronic cutter for determining misalignment of the paper medium relative to a blade of the electronic cutter; after the determining step, further utilizing the one or more components of the electronic cutter for: A) moving the blade to a cutting position relative to the paper medium that compensates for misalignment of the paper medium relative to the blade, and then B) arranging the blade in direct contact with the paper medium, and then C) moving the blade relative to the paper medium in direction orthogonal to either of the forward direction and the reverse direction for cutting a pattern into the paper medium.
