Cutter freezing up :(

[TeresaMc 0]

So last weekend I cut and cut and cut and had no problems.....now tonight seems like every single cut I have to restart my computer.

I have the Refine MH721 with Windows XP using the USB connection and I have changed notning since last weekend.  Anyone have any ideas why??

Try pressing the reset button on the cutter after a successful cut to clear the buffer memory. Maybe something is still ingering in the buffer memory and needs to be cleared out.

Using the reset button doesn't help.  Not causing any major problems, just taking alot of time to restart after nearly every cut.

Try the Serial or Parallel connection.

I don't have a serial port on this computer and I couldn't get it to work on LPT1

Is your Parallel port mode set to ECP? Is there any Printers or Faxes set to use the same LPT port number?

Yes it is set to ECP and my only other printer is connected via USB

Might just not work with the Parallel cable then......
