rustrocket92 0 Posted October 29, 2009 I have had this jsi 24" cutter about a year and a half. About 6 months ago it stopped working. I spent hours on the phone with their tech support (which sucks it takes forever to get someone to call you back about problems). They had me send it back to them to be checked out. They said it worked fine and shipped it back to me. I hooked it back up and still the same problem. I called them and they say it is my computer. I tried it with my laptop and same problems. Its kind of hard to explain ther problem so I made you a picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustrocket92 0 Posted October 29, 2009 I may have forgot to add that it is a JSI cutter and I am using Signblazer with a USB connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted October 30, 2009 I have a feeling the USB connection could be a cause can you use a serial instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustrocket92 0 Posted October 30, 2009 I used the usb connection for over a year with no problems what so ever. When i started having problems they sent me a new usb cable which didn't help. They then sent me an adapter to go from a serial cable to usb which didn't help ( but then again I am not sure which cable I am supposed to be using. There is one with a lot of pins and maybe one with like nine pins. I tried both but neither seem to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted October 30, 2009 I am picking at straws now but maybe you should try un- installing Sign Blazer and re installing it. You shouldn't lose any of your file.... http://support.uscutter.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=23&nav=0,5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustrocket92 0 Posted October 30, 2009 How do I properly uninstall it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted October 30, 2009 How do I properly uninstall it? just go to your control panel and delete it like any other program. I also go through the registry but if your not familiar with that best just to do the control panel one, that should work, after that then just install the new version. I am far from an expert on this but its worth a try. I was hoping some others like Preston or Jay would have jumped in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustrocket92 0 Posted October 30, 2009 Deleted and installed new but which cutter do I use? There is no longer a jsi24 to pick in the setup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted October 30, 2009 alot of cutters use the Roland 1000 driver. You could try it. at the bottom of the set up page is LOAD, click it you will see more cutters appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted October 30, 2009 jsi 24 is listed in my setup on Signblazer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted October 30, 2009 Deleted and installed new but which cutter do I use? There is no longer a jsi24 to pick in the setup? Bring up the cutter setup and near the bottom you will see load click on that and look through that list... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustrocket92 0 Posted October 30, 2009 I hit the load option in setup and there is no jsi, but there is the roland 1000. Now it won't do anything. In fact the entire program locks up and I have to go to the task manager and end the program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustrocket92 0 Posted November 29, 2009 this thing is really pissin me off! jsi signs customer service is no help what so ever! If anyone was to ask me I would tell them to stay away from them like they were a moraly casual chick with the herp. But on another note I have a made a short video of what is going on so maybe someone else can help. Stay tuned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted November 29, 2009 I really don't know anything about that cutter but most call for a .25 offset even says that on the blade cases. I would start there and do test cuts increase it by five or decrease it by five until you have the results you want? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustrocket92 0 Posted November 29, 2009 what exactly does the blade offset control? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 29, 2009 the blade drag, when it is set correctly your corners are square, and no squiggly lines when they should be straight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustrocket92 0 Posted November 29, 2009 it cuts straight lines when you can get it to cut for example if i wanted to cut shape A. my result is shape B. the thinner line is just the weed line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
