TVW 4 Posted September 25, 2013 So my MH871 randomly cuts fine, then halfway through a project just goes straight horizontally to the end of the cutter and stops.....any one else seen this or know what to do to fix it? I've also noticed randomly on this design I cut it will cut fine, now all of a sudden it can't seem to get the bottom of the image straight, it cuts it, but it's offset but only at the bottom of the picture the rest is perfect.

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted September 25, 2013 If your on USB connection, put it on a serial card or Keyspan Adapter, that is the brand name. It is listed here on this forum, hundreds of times to do that .... Also, Make sure the cutter is grounded to the stand if you have one.. Also those cutters have very limited memory...You don't state how large the image is, so with a lot of nodes, you could be wiping the memory out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TVW 4 Posted September 25, 2013 Running USB, I'll try to find the adapter but it's weird that it just now does this. Ground is fine, very small decals, like 4 inches long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you scratch a little paint off the cutter and stand to make a good ground connection? just to show you..example, Not any ol' serial cable will work. UScutter only recommends Keyspan and Belkin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Tripp-Lite-USA-19HS-Keyspan-High-Speed-USB-to-Serial-Adapter-/160804080791?pt=US_USB_Cables_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item2570ab8c97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TVW 4 Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah I sanded the paint down right there. Cool thanks! I'll get one those two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teaman 0 Posted September 26, 2013 I have a HL721B and was cutting perfect. Now it will cut one word only across the vinyl. When sent long ways or 2 words it cuts a few letters and decides to take off to the side and scratch around until it stops, any ideas? it is fairly new and have replaced cables and still same outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When sent long ways or 2 words it cuts a few letters and decides to take off to the side and scratch around until it stops, any ideas? it is fairly new and have replaced cables and still same outcome Sounds like my issue, it just goes straight and scratches the vinyl and goes all the way until the end of the cutter? You did use serial cables? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
