fedjastacey 8 Posted April 26, 2014 hey all i am using a backup cutter, only a cheao joys mt871, its all setup as refine in the settings menu but for some reason, i set everything up, load my image in signcut and it starts cutting fine, and i am pretty sure as soon as the time elapsed/time remaining box goes of the screen the cutter just holts and never actually completes a job. its usually a few minutes into the cut. i have a similar setup but with a ct630 cutter and that never fails me. is there anything in the settings that i could change or do to make the cutter complete a job. its so annoying and it just wastes vinyl. thanks for any help in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 26, 2014 The Refine cutters are very limited on memory, You could put the cutter on a serial cable, serial card, or a Keyspan Adapter(brand name by Tripp-lite) and it will have a better connection Make sure cutter is grounded to stand if you have one. Also wipe the vinyl with a dryer sheet for static. The Creation Pcut is a much better machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an MH/refine that would freeze like nuts on USB and once I switched to serial things went smoothly even on stuff 20 feet long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
