| If you look at the LCD, the top of the readout is the speed in mm/s. If it is at 100, someone accidentally hit the down arrow and set the speed very slow. Ideal speed is 300 mm/s and 80 to 100 grams of pressure. | If you look at the LCD, the top of the readout is the speed in mm/s.

| + | The cutter performs erratically | ||
| + | during cuts, stops cutting | ||
| + | before the cut is finished, or | ||
| + | cuts lines that do not appear in | ||
| + | the design. | ||
| + | | | ||
| + | Some computers do not work well when connected via the USB port of the | ||
| + | cutters. If you are having problems while cutting and are using the USB cable | ||
| + | to connect from your cutter to computer, you may wish to try the serial cable | ||
| + | connection to avoid further problems. If a serial cable connection is not available | ||
| + | on your computer, you can try a third party USB to serial connector or a PCI card | ||
| + | serial adapter for your computer. | ||

| + | After the first cut is made, | ||
| + | subsequent cuts are made over | ||
| + | the top of the original, or vinyl | ||
| + | is fed backwards until it loses | ||
| + | contact with the rollers. | ||
| + | | | ||
| + | After a cut is made, you will need to reset the origin of the cutter. If the origin is | ||
| + | not set again, the first origin will remain in the cutter and the cutter will return to | ||
| + | this position before making any further cuts. To reset the origin; from the main | ||
| + | screen of the cutter, press the Offline/ | ||
| + | button. | ||

| + | Cuts are jagged or inconsistent. | ||
| + | | | ||
| + | The Blade may be dulled or damaged. Replace with a new blade and try again. | ||
| + | Make sure that the blade can turn freely (by attempting to turn it with your | ||
| + | fingers while the release button of the Blade Carriage is pressed). | ||
| + | Adjust the blade depth of the Blade Carriage | ||
| + | cutter (page 8) until you are getting solid, uniform cuts. Start with a blade depth | ||
| + | of around 1/64th of an inch and a pressure setting of 100g and try an increased | ||
| + | pressure setting before attempting to increase the blade depth. | ||
