No matter whether you are using the Cricut heat presses or the cutting machine, they have to be set up before you use them. Heat presses can be set up directly by following the Cricut heat guide on the website. But if you want to set up the Cricut cutting machine, then you need an additional computer or smartphone. As a result, it is good to know the full setup procedure. To get started with the setup process of your machine, you can visit the cricut.com/setup on the browser.
