Ok - take small steps.
The test cut button only works in offline mode and that is to help you determine the best force for the media that you are cutting. There are no numbers you need to look at for that, other than the force button. Directions are in the learning center if you get stuck.
I am guessing that your machine is going into pause mode because you are cutting out of range. The Lynx only cuts 12" width, so you want to be sure that when you are cutting, none of your design goes out of range of that 12" measured from the right of the machine. Move your blade holder as far to the right as it will go. 12" from that point going left is the area that your machine will cut widthwise. If you extend beyond that (the opening is larger than the cutting width), then your machine will pause and hitting the pause button will not help . You just need to turn it off and on again and start again. Without seeing I am guessing that is the problem as it is a common error for new users - I think we have all done that.
so I don't think there is a problem with your buttons but with the placement of your cut. Let me know if that helps and feel free to give more information if that isn't it so we can give you the best answers to help. Don't give up = there is a learning curve, but once you understand how the machine responds, and where, you will be cutting easily in no time.
