I have gotten a pretty good handle on cutting vinyl..wasted about a 15" X5yard roll learning..but what the heck... I cannot get past this item. and I know its me or a setting causing it..but without a manual (the offered download is a currept file) I am stuck...so HELP!!!!!!HELP!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. I sent 3 letters to the cutter..USA only U would print. then the cutter went 1/2 wide of the vinyl and up and down in a straight line..3 times. never attempted the second letter??? then stopped ,,I am now confused as hell!!! 2. Thought it was my workspace size for #1 above so I adjusted as it is a 15"X5yd roll of vinyl. Adjusted the letters- qty 3- A's 2.1 not sure if it is better to do qty 3- A's or Qty 1- copies 3 A's? anway 2.2 THE BIG ONE again!!! it cut the first A- then went to the bottom of the vinyl all the way to the top of the vinyl, all the way to the bottom of the vinyl..in a staight line and then.. of course...jammed on the vinyl... SO..WHAT IS MAKING IT GO TO THE BOTTOM THEN THE TOP THEN THE BOTTOM THEN THE TOP IN A LINE???:P Anyone??? Help?

kenimes 42 Posted September 2, 2008 Sounds to me like a communication issue, or possible hardware failure on the cutter itself. Which cable are you using to connect the cutter to your computer? Have you tried an alternative method or computer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted September 3, 2008 If the issue hasn't been resolved, would you mind posting the file you're trying to cut? or are you trying to cut text that was typed directly into your cutting software. btw - give us a bit more detail ... PC of Mac? USB or Serial? Operating System? Cutting software? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted September 9, 2008 As an experiement , I would try cutting it in a 12" or smaller size to eliminate the tiling , I would also unclick all the weeding tools . regards , Rodger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted September 9, 2008 Maybe a troublesome Serial cable. You do not have the cable running next to any electronics to get to the computer do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
