Guest Amber R Posted January 23, 2021 I ran a cut job and now I want to run another cut job but it keeps returning to the origin point and cutting over what i already plotted, how do i start origin point where the last job left off? thanks!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 23, 2021 not knowing which plotter you have I would guess the majority of them would be to press the origin button on the plotter where you want it to start at Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted January 23, 2021 In Vinyl Master Software, when SEND to CUT. There is a place that you have to check, ADVANCE AFTER PLOT. On the left side settings. Then the cutter won't come back to the front of the vinyl. Or it shouldn't. You should also hit reset, so the cutter dumps the last order of data. You cannot just send order after order. Before you send the next order, your carriage head and blade should be in position. Push the ORIGIN button before sending, every time. Vinyl cutters have a limited amount of memory, so you have to reset and dump the data after every order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted January 24, 2021 When using the command "Advance After Plot/cut" there is no need to press anything on the cutter keypad. The cutting head will be resting at the point of the next job starting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted January 24, 2021 It doesn't work that way for me using Vinyl Master and a MH cutter. The advance after plot doesn't reset the origin point and if I were to send another job the vinyl would back feed to the origin and cut over the design I just made. I have to hit the origin button after every cut. Also, I have not had to reset the cutter to clear the memory. It's not a bad step to do, I've just been lucky I guess and never had a problem with cutting multiple jobs in a row. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
