The great thing about cutting with out registration marks, it doesn't really matter where you put your paper or your mat, you just line up the blade with the corner of the paper, and hit your origin button, and it will cut from there.
One of the things I have started doing, if I want to print some of my digi papers, but don't want to do a print and cut, is to print out an area (like a rectangle that is large enough to fit my shape I want to cut) on my paper with the digi paper filled in, then just line up my blade to the corner of where the print started. That way I don't have to worry about any white paper showing around the edges if my registration isn't accurate, and I don't have to print the entire paper with the fill, so I don't waste a lot of ink. (Although I have a laser printer so I don't use ink... LOL)
Depending on the size of what I'm cutting out, I can print more than one rectangle on a page, so I can cut more than one item from each sheet of paper, of if I need a number of things from the same paper, I can make the rectangle large enough to accommodate them all.

If you use the forward/backward buttons to move your mat into the machine, instead of lifting the pinch wheels and just placing the mat in the machine, then you need to set the origin to 0,0 or the machine will spit the mat out when it goes to start cutting, as it will move to 0,0 before it cuts. This is a problem most new people have using the machine if it spits the mat out, as they forget to set the origin button. (It's the button with the crosshairs on it).
The numbers you set your X/Y coordinates for PnC do not change when you set your origin button, they are totally different numbers, even if they are using the same X/Y "Name".
Any time you move the mat/rollers, you need to hit the origin button to reset it back to 0,0 so the machine knows that is where you want it to start cutting. In PnC, when you use the software to find the registration marks, the software tells the machine that after the 3rd mark is found, that is the "origin" so it knows where to start cutting.
I hope I didn't confuse you more... but it really is easy, just something different to get used to in cutting.
