optical eye stopped working properly

Recommended Posts

I went to put a roll of vinyl with white paper backing on the plotter and measure it, but it wouldnt stop rolling backward and the vinyl shot back out the back of the machine and the pinch rollers kept rolling.

I had to cover the optic sensor to stop it. then I put some black on the plotter that had a clear plastic liner so it looks dark and it didnt roll to the end and stop at the edge of the vinyl, it just measured and stopped.

I went back to the vinyl I needed to cut and it did the same thing.

I ended up puting a piece of black electrical tape over the eye then it would measure the width and stop, ready to cut but with what ever extra vinyl hanging over the edge that I left on the out feed side.

any repair ideas?

sometimes you need to keep the vinyl in contact with the eye area . I use my finger to keep the vinyl close enough to read .
