Cutting Plotter Maintenance
In order to ensure good cutting effect, we should maintain the cutting plotter at a certain time.
Power off machine before maintenance.
A. Frequently clean the machine body by soft&dry cloth;
B. Use brush to clean the grit feed rollers &smear the anti-rust oil;
C. Make the surface of pinch rollers clean.
D. Separate the pinch rollers from grit feed roller（Pinch Roller always keep upward position)

1. Cutting Abnormal
If this problem occur, there are several factors need to check : Setting of cutting software keeps same with machines, like baud rate, port; Besides if during transferring , software shut down suddenly; The computer which is connectted to cutting plotter have virus; Data cable problems.
2. Feeding paper with deviation
When putting paper, position is wrong. Lower pressure between pinch roller and feeding roller will has this problem; quality of paper is not good, uneven thickness, holes, twist and distortion also will affect deviation; pinch roller or feeding rollers have scraps of paper or other things.
3. When cutting, feeding paper is not smooth.
Length of blade is too longer, too much pressure, blade holder with dust, soft paper or too smooth paper all will lead to this issues.
4. During operating getting lost content of cutting
Sticker wrapped too tight, cutting faster, too much pressures, leading to get lost content of cutting easily.
5. Words cutted has wrinkling problem .
Cutting faster or damaged blade, always check blade and use high quality blade; blade holder with dust also has this issues.
