Hi Do you know if it is likely that the blade part can fail, the part that moves up and down? many thanks

Hi Yes it has the CT630. I think it could be something else. i have just tried the plotter again with the artcut software, and the cutter/blade part isnt moving down as well, so i guess it might be that part that might be faulty. Weird as it was fine when i first tried it. is it common for that part to fail ?

OK i tried using the roland driver and got no response from the plotter. Any other ideas much appreciated thanks

Many thanks for your reply. Will give it a try now thanks

Hi All. I am a total newbie in vinyl cutters & plotters. To get an understanding of the software and hardware i have purchased a Creation PCut CT-630 My intention was to use it with a newer operating system with a USB cable, and have tried countless times and failed. So i am using an older PC with a parallel port running on Windows 7 32bit I understand that no drivers are needed with the parallel cable.. correct? The plotter came with Artcut software 2005 which i initially setup to test. The plotter worked fine with no problems, but the software is very limited, so after looking at some forums i have installed signblazer. I have been practising but when the plotter goes to cut, it goes through the motions but the blade does not come down to cut the shape / text. Its driving me crazy so i was hoping someone might be able to help out. i have read through the manual which doesnt really help me. Any suggestions much apppreciated thanks Wayne
