Kysmiley 0 Posted July 12, 2008 I'm not sure if this goes here or under signblzer. When i try to do a small test file that just says test, and send it to the cutter it cutts all over the design criss crossing and everything. It cutts my T's in half. Does anyone have anyidea what I may be doing wrong? Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RegisG 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Did it just start doing this or are you setting up new machine? If new, be sure your blade is set correctly like para 3.2 in user manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted July 12, 2008 sounds like you blade is sticking out to far. it's probably 'slashing' as it's trying to move from one letter to the next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted July 12, 2008 Wrong model of cutter selected? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kysmiley 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Thanks everyone I will try those ideas on monday. I know if I dont select the right cutter model that it wont cut at all. When I turn the blade adjustment knob the blade does not seem to move. I have ordered a new part on Thursday to hopefully take care of the off tracking. Maybe this will also help. I dont know if it was shipped yet, i'm hoping though so I can get started cutting vinyl Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted July 13, 2008 When you pull out the blade holder, see if it easily moves up and down, or if it gets sticky. While the blade within the holder itself is not a part that should be going up and down during normal cutting, it might be a little stuck and a little too far sticking out. Does the carriage itself not lift the blade when it's moving from cutting one item to the next? If I have the wrong "printer" selected, mine too doesn't cut. I know that there are updated drivers, however, the driver that I am using (before they even wrote one specifically for the LP) seems to work fine ... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
