Help anyone please... I can't get my cr-630 to work at all. I am not getting an error, but the cutter is not cutting at all. I seem to have communication with the cutter (correct usb com port, etc.) but it will not move or cut. Here is my setup
Windows Vista
Signcut-X2 (downloaded with license and drivers)
darkblue/Black cutter with small lcd screen
When using Signcut, green status bar will sometimes freeze, sometimes appear and flash uickly as if job was sent to cutter, but nothing ever happens. I never receive an error of anykind.
Can anyone help before I start considering returning this unit? Has anyone else experienced the same as me? All help is appreciated.
Everytime that I uninstall the drivers, VISTA searches and states that I have the most up-to-date drivers for this device.
More info...
When I hold the carriage limit swtich in (as if the carriage was to the extreme right), the Signcut status bar incremements sometime to roughly 95% compeltion, and then just hangs there - no carriage movement.
When the carriage is mid-position, the status bar quickly flashes green as if it has completed sending the job to the cutter, but no movement from the cutter at all
1) DONT HOLD THAT SWITCH IN. It will make the cutter think a fault has occurred. If the carriage is against it, the cutter will not boot.
2) Check your Baud setting in sign cut vs. the Baud setting on the cutter
where did you get your cr
if you got it from procut it is a transfered usb.
in total we have to cr model
1-cr with transfered usb main board which is the same as ct model but difrent body
2-cr with pure usb main board
to find out do not conect the plotter to computer and turn it on then tell me what do you have on lcd display
hi
i just talked to factory and they want a photo of your main board.
send that to me email
my last quastion is are you able to run the plotter with artcut and do any thing you want
I was only holding in the switch to trouble-shoot and determine different behaviors of the cutter setup. I have contacted USCUTTERS customer service, but they have not yet been able to determine the root of the problem.
I am truly ready to chuck this unit. Setup should not take this long. If anyone else has ideas, I would appreciate them.
After much trial and error editing of the cutter profile I've managed to fix the csm file sent to me by Ray so that it works with the cutter. It now works fine, and even cuts without the need to mirror the output!!
Only one slight bug, which is after the job has finished, Production Manager crashes out and asks to send a report to microsoft. This has happened all the way through since I got the cutter to start talking to flexi, so it's nothing I've done, and presumably will be associated with the .dll files I'm now having to use.
When you restart the production manager the previous job is sat in the queue as if you'd never even cut it. You can delete it easily, but it would be nice to try and get rid of this error in the first place.

Reason: Extra info
uscutters creation are not cr model
1-if you have problem with swich you should check the conections to swich some times they will be dislocated in transit
inatal the driver for cutter itself and then in device manager find out which com is that
instal the signblazer trail
choes pcut ct630
select the same com as your device manager(if your com port in device manager for this cutter is 3 then you should choese com 3 when you are instaling the software.
Ah i see the famous ray lives on! if you ever need a good deal on wooden legs, parrots, or graphics for your galleon? give me a shout! i'd sure love to help!
well after dealings with the affore mentioned i got some research done, bought a rabbit, sent my piece of pirate junk back to ray, and have never looked back!
i said this in an earlier post but, RUNNING YOUR COMPUTER WITH NO WINDOWS UPDATES OR FIREWALL IS AS STUPID AS TRUSTING AN EBAY SELLER TO POST SOMETHING YOU WON FAIRLY!!!!! yes, ray, you know who you are!!!
honestly, running some cracked software, with files copied from here to there, and then reading my own quick fix word for word posted on here by a seller shows how this guy operates!
as of yet, if you don't have some working legitimate answer from your ebay seller(be lucky it turned up, i won my first for £102, and yeah, this dude said he took it to the post office!)(postie pat must have knicked it? 4ft long & 29kilos?)
i urge you to send back your creation, report the seller to ebay, get full refund!(yes i did)and get yourself looking for a rabbit!(cheaper&better)
ONE LAST RANT:the only kind of crack this guy seems to know about, is the kind he's been puffing away on!!
yours, a smiley happy rabbit owner!
Adam, as has been said time and time again on here you have to take people's advice on here with a pinch of salt. If someone tells you to wipe your computer, disable your antivirus and firewall, alarm bells must ring at some point?
If they asked you to unlock your front door and back door and leave them both wide open when you went out, would you?
Ray also offered me the standard piece of advice of wipe your computer, etc, etc. which I promptly ignored, however he did have the missing driver file I needed, but something still wasn't right. Again, suggestion to wipe my computer, etc, etc. (ignored again) where I took it upon myself to sort out the cutter output profile file.
Ray seems to be in a slightly better position than most of us in that he's able to deal with the factory difrect, which is more than even the people selling us these seem to be able to do. Where he falls down is a big lack of knowledge about windows, hence his solution is to wipe the machine.
I won't say mine is working faultlessly (well the cutter is, but there's still a niggle where part of flexi keeps crashing at the end of the job) but at the end of the day this is a value cutter, and although I had hoped for slightly more support from the retailer and manufacturer direct, you can't expect this thing to climb out of a box and go without any hassle. This cutter is a lot cheaper than many of the 'brand name' versions available - there has to be a compromise somewhere.
If anyone needs the files for this cutter, pm me and I'll email them to you. It may take a few attempts as I've got a few different versions now, and I only know one that worked for me. Also have the files to make the cutter work with flexi.
adam you are talking too much and i am not going to replay you any more.
first i didnt sell plotter to this pepole.
secend i know very good how to run the chinies plotters but yes i am not good regarding computers.
there is a lots of issues regarding windows which maybo make you problem but there is nothing to do with plotter itself.
adam you tried to took advantage of me but i didnt allow you to do that and in the end cost me a negetive but at list my other buyers feedback shows you are wrong.
andy i dont know your plotter is new or not is it faulty or not but at list try your plotter with other computer and see do you have the same problem
or you can get original pcut flexi starter 8.5 with donget from me for 80 usd .
i can help any one has pcut around the world and as long as it is regarding the setup but if you have problem regarding windows or etc sorry i cant
i do have a main part such as mainboard power suply and if any one needs that please contact me
in about two months in uk we will have creation pcut cs model with 1200mm per secend speed and 700g force with laser regestration eye for contour cutting
all said and done, the rabbit didn't climb out the box, but this problem with flexi chucking your work half way through is something to do with the production manager i think not windows/firewall/where you got it from?
don't know if i've just been lucky with my new plotter or what, but it keeps on cutting and cutting!
if you was talking about lost profits or anything the like i would have been upto manchester myself getting this thing sorted, but fortunately i got time on my hands at the mo, and certainly know who i'm getting my next plotter from, and no, it doesn't live in a hutch or eat lettuce, but it is called a rabbit, and i'm very happy about it!
as the ryan air moto goes, if you pay nothing, expect nothing i suppose!
well the rabbit was much cheaper than rays, and works! not bad after expecting arseache!
