Badcopyinc 4 Posted January 22, 2017 been using my 871 for years now on SB and AI or INK ran across flexi 10 and love the program but over usb the cutter acts funny every other cut it wants to run from corner to corner. read alot of threads and they led me to believe it was usb error ordered a keyspan and hooked back up on serial until then first cut over serial. stairs across the vinyl!??? second cut actual design third stairs. ports setting from cutter and flexi match anyone have and suggestions otherwise ill be forced to use flexi and sb or scrap flexi and try to get a return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 22, 2017 Also which driver did you use in Flexi? Yes this cutter requires 4800 baud rate http://www.uscuttersupport.com/downloads/Support_PDF/USBSetup/MH/MH_USB_WIN7.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcopyinc 4 Posted January 22, 2017 chose the one that was already in there on my serial pc (mh-871in flexi) and didnt add any at all from my original setup with SB laptop i installed one from us cutter site for the usb im assuming i need to have baud set on the driver panel as well.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 22, 2017 does it still do it when you slow the cutter down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcopyinc 4 Posted January 22, 2017 yes just tried. i put it to 120mm/s starts doing stairs hit reset to avoid vinyl damage. then hit send and it puts a slice through design and cuts it. the head drops after i hit origin so its like the cutter thinks the head is still up when starting the cut.if close down prdouction manager and open up to send again it will operate properl first cut. or if i power down cutter. if not i will be doing stairs every other cut and the other ones will have slice from cutting head being down to start.

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 22, 2017 then back to the basics - this time of year we have a lot of static induced problems - did you ever run the ground wire from the stand to the plotter so static won't build up in the vinyl and stand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcopyinc 4 Posted January 22, 2017 im still waiting to talk to my friend but i have a feeling mz is right. thank you guys for your help. ill just go back to the way i was doing it prior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
