	Mat Preview Mat Preview — Allows you to see shapes you’re cutting and where they fit on the mat before you cut.	?
	Material Settings Material Setting — Helps define and save profiles for materials you work with often. Each profile contains information about the speed, pressure, multi-cut, and cutting tool used while working with the material.	?
	Cutting-Area Light Cutting-Area Light — Sheds light so you can see exactly where you’re cutting on the mat.	?
	Independent Image Sizing Independent image sizing — Make one image 3" and another image 5 1/2" — all on the same mat.	?
	Multiple Mat Cutting Multiple Mat Cutting — Cut as many images as you want, even if the images won’t all fit on one mat. Your Cricut Expression 2 projects can contain up to six mats.	?
	Flip Vertical Flip Vertical — Flips the orientation of the entire image vertically or flips a selected portion of the image if it has been separated into layers.	?
	Flip Horizontal Flip Horizontal — Flips the orientation of the entire image horizontally or flips a selected portion of the image if it has been separated into layers.	?
	Rotate Rotate — Spins the entire image 90 degrees clockwise or spins a selected portion of the image if it has been separated into layers.	?
	Quantity Quantity — Allows you to repeat all the images in your queue and minimize the amount of paper used for the project. This is often useful when you need several of each part of your project or wish to fill up the empty space on a page.	?
	Fit to Page Fit to Page — Changes the size of the images in the project to fit the entire page.	?
	Fit to Length Fit to Length — Selects a horizontal size you would like your finished project to be.	?
	Paper Size Paper Size — Allows you to choose a custom paper size for your project.	?
	Start Position Start Position — Change the location where the cutting blade begins your project on the page.	?
	Center Position Center Point — Establishes the center of the image as the point to locate the shape in your project, rather than the lower left corner of the image. For instance, if you were planning to cut a 8" x 10" photograph into an oval, using the Center Point function you could use the Start Position function to move the cutter to the center of the photograph and select an oval shape. You could then use the Center Point function to line the center of the oval up with the center of the photograph.	?
	Load Last Load Last — Uses the leftover paper from the last project for the current project. When the Load Last button is selected, the new project will be automatically repositioned to use the remaining space on the paper.	?
	Paper Saver Paper Saver — Arranges the images in your project so that it uses the least amount of paper possible automatically.	?
	Kerning Kerning — Allows you to change the spacing between images. A negative value will decrease the spacing between images, and a positive value will increase the spacing.	?
	Cut Speed Cut Speed — Controls the cutting speed for an optimal cut on a variety of materials.	?
	Pressure Settings Pressure Settings — Determines how hard the cutting mechanism presses against the materials. For heavyweight materials, you may want to move the setting up to increase the cut pressure. For lightweight materials, you may want to change the setting down to decrease the pressure.	?
	Multi Cut Multi-Cut — Directs the machine to cut a project multiple times on top of the original cut lines. This allows you to cut thicker materials such as thin chipboard.	?
