skylinedesign 0 Posted August 8, 2013 Currently, when a cut finishes, it returns to the starting point and I have to advance the vinyl to the end of the cut to trim it off. Is there a setting in SignBlazer that I'm missing that will keep the vinyl from rolling all the way back to the starting point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted August 8, 2013 Yes, I'm not at my computer with the program right not but it's under the setting, Advance roll after job, or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey 252 Posted August 8, 2013 I dont use SB but I know in SCALP and Flexi you have that option to Advance after cut. But you also may want to read my recent post on lesson learned.

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted August 8, 2013 In main cut window setup at the top, advance page after job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skylinedesign 0 Posted August 9, 2013 Advance Page After Job is the setting I figured it would be, but it is checked and it still returns to the starting point. Same as when it is unchecked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 9, 2013 which cutter and are you using the correct driver. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skylinedesign 0 Posted August 9, 2013 Cutter is a MH721 connected with the COM port. I believe I'm using the correct driver. It's been set up for a few years with no issues other than the advance page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 9, 2013 Maybe someone who has an MH series cutter will chime in and help ya.. I know Slice/Dice used to run an MH cutter and is on here quite often. I'm sure there are others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 9, 2013 I would go bananas if my cutter always returned to the Start point --- that's just plain wrong. Here's what I would do to troubleshoot this ==== Install the latest version of SignBlazer (UK) from this link, and then make sure you're using the RedSail driver.RS720C. http://www.mystat.com/Signblazer.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skylinedesign 0 Posted August 9, 2013 I appreciate the help. I remember when I initially set up the cutter I had all sorts of issues, so I'm a bit wary to make any changes. It's an issue I can live with, and I can't afford to be down for any time right now. I'm setting up another cutter soon though, so I should be able to test it out with that one. A separate issue I've had, I can't cut anything over 60". Anything longer and the carriage goes all the way to the end and grinds until I shut it off. Is that driver related as well?

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 9, 2013 no that is the memory in the cutter, The MH series cutters are very limited on memory. Always turn off your cutter after each cut ,so as to dump the data from last order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,626 Posted August 10, 2013 I forget where I read it but there's a spec. that calls out the plotter can do 24"x60". Although that never made sense to me. If I wanted to make a rectangle that's say 12" by 80" why wouldn't the cutter be able to do that? Anyway, on the Advance page after job thing, you might try changing the gap between jobs. Shouldn't matter but can't hurt to try. I have a mh721-mk2 and it advances after jobs no problem. I am running the latest version of SBE and I'm using the USB option.

skylinedesign 0 Posted August 10, 2013 Just tried changing the gap between jobs and that didn't solve my problem. But, I did notice that once the cut finishes, it does advance the page with the gap I specified, then still returns to the original starting point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 10, 2013 Honestly, a re-install of SignBlazer using the link I provided (or from USCUTTER's download page) will likely get this resolved in five minutes, http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/GetAttachment/190/24198 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gurs24 0 Posted October 13, 2013 Will this re-install wipe out all my saved projects?

slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 13, 2013 No. Your projects are all stored within a folder called SBD Files on your root C: drive. If you are still concerned, rename it temporaily while performing the reinstall (for example SBD Files01) and when done with the install, you can switch it back as your default project folder.
