Usb is the worst way to connect to your pc with this plotter. I have ruined feet after feet of vinyl using usb. USB is fine if you are cutting small things. Switch to serial port and never look back.

You need to switch to serial port and possibly Windows xp operating system. I had the same problems, I regrounded the plotter and got a computer with xp and a serial port and now I can cut banners longer than the one you are cutting.

Most likely a combination of static and the use of a usb port. Go Serial and fix the ground under the end cap where the power cable plugs in. It is connected to painted metal(not a good ground). Scrape the paint off under neath the where the wire screws to the chassis of the plotter. When you advance the vinyl it picks up a ton of static. I had the same problems. I actually connected a wire to the ground under the end cap and ran it outside the cap to the stand. I can advance the vinyl 10 feet now if I want. Get rid of the usb cable find a machine with XP and use the serial cable I have been making 8 to ten foot cuts since changing cables.

Yeah I just ran a serial cable from my Xp machine to the plotter. In SB I set up the plotter in the cut menu. Lucky for me my serial port was on COM 1 and it started cutting. just go through every com port in the setup menu until you get communication.

Yup got an Xp machine with serial port I have already made 2 10 foot cuts and another 96 inch cut. Believe in the "Power of Serial". So happy now.

Nevermind my post still having issues with this piece.

I just went through a lot of vinyl today trying to get to the bottom of this. I have an 871. I took the left end cap off and improved the ground situation under the cap. I was still having issues with my plotter stopping mid cut. The status bar of the cut tile window during cutting was freezing. I checked the usb port settings while the plotter was on and plugged into my laptop. I checked the flow control setting it did not match the setting in signblazer. I changed it to hardware and matched the baud rates and I have cut larger pieces of 60" continuously since making these changes. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed.

A customer of mine came in with a picture of a grahic from the job site. Does anyone have the vector of the machine in the picture. Any help is greatly appreciated. The machine is a pipelayer or a sideboom.
