Knee Pain on Elliptical

Hey guys 
Today was the first time for me using the elliptical trainer and it wasn't very comfortable to be honest.. my knees really hurt while on the elliptical then i stopped using the handles and the pain lessened but was still there. I've always used my treadmill at home and never had this sort of problem. Any suggestions as to what i should do to lessen the pain? Do u think i'm actually doing something wrong while on it that could cause knee pain?
