  1. Thanks slice&dice for the link to v7.0.0.  I had a triplite hooked up to another plotter but did not have a cable that would fit on the SC. I went and got one. I hooked it up and sure enough it took care of the problem. I have been using this plotter for at least 5 years on usb it was only when I hit the reset that it became a problem. Are there any features in SB 7.0.0 that is worth losing my settings to uninstall 6.0.0 in order to install 7.0.0? I don't have the  trial screen on my SB 6.0.0 software. I  have two plotters using this software. I don't even use it that much, I all most always use my Graphtec just cannot stand having something around that does not work

    Assuming you've tried the old standard, turn it off and then back on?

    I did.

    I am sure in your rewiring you reseated all the ribbon cables and blew the board off real good with air?  salts in mice pee would possibly be conductive even after drying . . .  just throwing out an idea to check

    I did, and removed the mainboard completely out, checked the capacitors, diodes and resistors washed it down with alcohol blew access with air and let it dry for a couple of hours.

  2. Let's try the obvious ---  does the carriage return to zero? Yes, It does

    Will the machine perform a regular self-test upon startup? (x axis, y axis, z axis, carriage back to the right)? Yes

    How about the COM connection, are you on USB or Serial? it is USB

    SignBlazer, check your Help/ABOUT menu -- does it say Release v7.0.0 ? It is v6.0.0

    What is strange it completed a job and I started another job and saw I had not set the origin it began to cut and I realized it was going to overrun the vinyl so I pressed the

    reset button to stop the cutting so I could set the origin. Everything was working fine until I pressed the reset button. I will try to find the v7.0.0 had it at one time change computer about 3

    years ago and must have installed the older version and see if that helps. Thanks for your help.


  3. I have an older SC Cutter that some mice got into I don't use it much, but I would still like to fix it. So after rewiring and cleaning it. I completed a  job and started another one, seeing I had forgot to reset the origin and it was going to run over I hit the reset button to stop it. After that I have not been able to restart the machine. It will do a test cut so it is still operating. I am using Signblazer software and it was working fine before I hit the reset button. Anyone have any suggestions. I have looked for a hard reset but have not been able to find anything. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Shadow, I found those. They are downloaded as jpegs and I would still have to vector them. Once vectored at different settings it still, just not sharp enough. I might as well start from scratch. They would look good on some drinking glasses I just didn't want do each letter.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     


  5. Anyone want to give me a price on printing this little man he is 22 1/2" X 44 1/2. only need one, need (CFT) on hat. I did one about two years ago on my little Graphtec 14" had to tile it, along with 4 colors of vinyl. I think printing it might be a better option.

  6. Thanks every one, that was it. Takes along time to go through 27,000 fonts. Madhatter I thought about that when I posted the title to this post wondered who would be the one to come back with that. Did not think about whoever it was, would not be able to remember the name. ha ha.
