I found that if I turn on the Production Manager, then open Flexi - do my stuff, send to cut/plot to manager when cutter is offline, go online at control panel and then send, I have no problems and can send a number of files or repeat files using the USB. If I don't follow this order of Manager, Flexi, manager, cutter the communications are unreliable between the programmes and the cutter. I am very new to my plotter but managed to set up XP, manager and Flexi with no issues at all using the USB. As a Mac user this was all new to me. If only I was as confident with the Vinyl cutter hardware.

I cannot make my nemesis, Creation 730 bought Nov 2009, cut evenly. The right side of the vinyl is not cutting at all and the further I go to the left the deeper it gets until it tears. When I try to do it using the middle only, the right is very faint and the left perfect. I have adjusted pressure and depth. I could cut in one spot going down the roll but this is too wasteful and doesn't solve my problem for future, larger jobs. Where the cutting strip is slightly marked I have put a very fine wet and dry sandpaper to remove any raised bits. I have cleaned the runners and replaced the blade. the depth is OK and the tracking is straight. I have moved the vinyl into different areas of tracking but the results are the same. I am using cut pieces as well. Or maybe the pressure on the feeder wheels is different? This is a very new machine and I am wondering if I have bent the tracker rail when I jumped it off in the first week? Not happy. Thank you Carl for the photos and member reply for my previous request. This is day three. PS Inkscape is very good value and works well in combo with my MAC and Pixelhance for turning photos - stencil.

I desperately need a photograph of how the carriage sits on the runners. I need to see left side view of white rollers and how they sit in the rails. and how to adjust the settings. I jumped my very new, unsupported pcut 630 off the rails and now I am not sure that I have it sitting correctly. I have managed to do a few cuts but not sure that I am actually not demolishing my cutter. Thanks for the forum and the noob pdf is awsome. The instruction manual was in Chinese and there was no set up details. I bought with 'support' yeah right.
