The Cameo 1 model includes an SD reader slot. This provides the ability to send specially formatted files (GSP files as created in Silhouette Studio) to the Cameo without a computer connection. 

NOTE: An SD slot on your computer is required to use this feature. This allows you to save files from your computer onto the SD card.

Creating GSP Files

To create files in GSP format:

  1. Open Silhouette Studio
  2. Create or open your desired file
  3. Insert an SD card into your computer's SD slot
  4. Go to File > Save As > Save to Hard Drive
  5. Navigate to your SD card
  6. Provide a name for your file
  7. Under the file name, Select 'GSP' in the 'Save as type' field
  8. Click 'OK'

You can save your GSP file into any location on your SD/SDHC card. You can also create a folder structure to categorize your content into subfolders for easier referencing. 

The Cameo is able to utilize both SD and SDHC card types. Only GSP files formatted in Silhouette Studio can be used with this feature.

Using GSP Files

Once you have your GSP file ready on your SD card:

  1. Power on the Cameo
  2. Insert the SD card into the Cameo's SD slot (located on the right-hand side of the unit next to the USB and power connections)
  3. Load your mat or material
  4. Press the Pause button on the machine ( || )
  5. Navigate to your desired file and select to cut it

NOTE: With GSP files saved from Silhouette Studio, a basic image display of the file you are cutting will appear on the Cameo's LCD screen in order to provide a rough preview of the selected file.
