What confuses me is if I cut the SignCut test shape (a box in a box) it cuts perfectly and so I'm thinking it is likely the file I'm trying to cut. I will try using the programs settings too and see what happens.
#Signcut pro serial
With regards to the baud rate etc, I'm using the software with the 'use windows serial settings' selected but have the right settings the cutter needs set too. In fact to start with I didn't want to waste vinyl by doing so but so far that's all I'm managing to do so I'm going to try your suggestion later on. I have not tried cutting the start up graphic.
#Signcut pro driver
I know this might sound dumb but do I need a driver for the cutter? I am connecting it to a USB2 port on the laptop and when I do the test cut (square in a square) it does it perfectly, that makes me think I don't need one. If I do a preview one copy it all looks OK. Even if I tell it the tile size is locked it changes it back each time. But it still does the same, after cancelling in SignCut and power cycling the cutter each time to get control back SignCut keeps resetting the sizes. In desperation I tried making the image to cut small (200mm x 150mm ish) and set the cutter size to 400mm x 400mm (plus many other combinations). The only thing to do is to click cancel in SignCut and power cycle the cutter. It doesn't do anything else, SignCut keeps increasing the time left to cut and the progress bar doesn't move. Now when I tell it to cut, it feeds about an inch then the cutting head moves to the far left (looking at the front of the cutter) and stays hard against that side with the blade down. It looks like you guys are right (and the cutters manual), when offline and after positioning then pressing OK it goes online.
#Signcut pro manual
Thanks again for all of your help, found the bit in the manual as Skeeter has posted (thanks) and am now doing that. I have been able to have a play for a while today and it been interesting but not very successful. Sort of fun. On the lower left part of that screen it will give you information about the size of your job and the size of our vinyl (manually entered earlier on the home screen most likely in your case) and at the very bottom it will show you the current position of your cutter which should be 0,0 There is been a little video it will play showing the way the cut will go. The next thing to check is if you then push "preview" before you cut it will show you what your job looks like and the orientation and stacking if it's multiple copies etc. If your cutter does not have a way to manually control force, speed etc then this may not even be an option for you anyway. Both cutters I have owned had could go either way and I choose manual.Īre you using SignCut Pro 1 or Pro 2? I use Pro 1 and in Pro 1 you can click the scissors button and the page that pops up has a check box to "Use Software Force and Speed Parameters" this is the manual or not spot. Some are manual some are only by the computer. I don't know much about the Redsail cutter as to whether you control the zero on the machine or in the software. Set origin first and it should say 0 on both the X and Y axis.
Your software things the zero is 400mm in there.
