Cutter should have a TEST feature in the menu. Most draw like a square with a triangle in it. You could use Signblazer software which is a FREE unlimited trial. Use the last link on these downloads. Choose a Creation Pcut vinyl cutter. You will also have to download a FTDI driver for which ever computer you are using if connecting thru USB. Good luck. You can use just sign vinyl for cutting. Here is the correct way to set the blade depth. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. You should barely see and feel the blade out of the blade holder. Regular sign vinyl is only 2-3 mil thick. You only cut with the very tip of the blade. http://www.uscuttersupport.com/downloads/Software/SignBlazer/

No link anymore, as some links have been lost over the years from site being upgraded.

Personally I would just go with the NEW CE6000-60. (They are still out there) No problems with that machine and still on the old design for grit rollers. Unless you can afford to jump up to the FC9000.

This is a common problem on the MH plotters and is usually a simple case of the Z-chip has gone bad. The z-chip is a simple op-amp and can be replaced. Older MH cutters had the chip in a socket, newer cutters it is soldered to the board. Chances are good it is the same with the Seiki plotter and just replacing the z-chip will get you up and running again.
