1．Safety precautions

Definition of warning symbols:

WARNING

Any improper operation possibly results in hazard of life or damage of equipment。

CAUTION

Any improper operation possibly results in hazard of life or other objects。

Definition of sign symbols:

The symbol is prepared to arouse operator's highly attention. The symbols in triangles specify the cases to be attentive. The symbol in the left warns you of electric shock。

The symbol specifies the activities to be forbidden. The symbol in the

circle specifies the acts to be forbidden. The symbol in the left tells you

no detachment。

WARNING

Do not use the power source not meeting rating voltage, otherwise fire or electric shock may be resulted in。

If the machine gives out smoke or unpleasing smell, or noise sounds please do not use it .in such cases, continuing using it may result in fire or electric shock。

Do not put out the plug when the power is on to avoid damage to the machine。

Make sure the machine grounded otherwise electric shock or mechanic default may be resulted in。

Do not detach, repair or reconstruct the machine, otherwise fire, electric shock, hazard of life may be resulted in。

CAUTION

Do not leak any liquid or drop metal into the machine, such things may result in fire。

Do not touch the knife top with your finger to prevent injury or perspiration of knife head。

Do not damage or random replace the supplied power cable. Do not excessively bend, pull, bundle the power cable or place weight on it, otherwise the power source may be damaged even fire or electric shock is thus incurred。

If you are not going to use the machine for a long time, please unplug the power cable from the receptacle, otherwise fire possibly happens。

When operating the machine, do not place either of your hands on capstan to avoid injury。

Place the machine on a stable surface, otherwise the machine may fall therefore get damaged。

To unplug the power cable fromreceptacle, please hold the plug instead of the cable, strongly pulling of the cable possibly results in electric shock or fire。

Any operation is forbidden in case of storm or lighting to prevent damage of the machine。

4．Features of interface

Cutting plotter PCUT provides an input interface, serial RS-232 interface, which is

connectable with a wide range of computers。

Properly connect signal cable of the interface will enable the cutter accurately respond to plotting and engraving command from computer. Improper connection of the cable may result in trouble even lock up of the machine。

RS-232 Serial Interface:

RS-232 Serial Interface meets features of ELA (Electric Industries Association)。

General features:

7．Troubleshooting

7.1 Question: will the characters below 1CM be deformed? Answer: when graving small characters, please set sharp-angle compensation in the

software, for example, in Wentai plotting software： (1). Click“plotting output”once, a plotting output picture will pop up。 (2). Click“set”once, a picture of setting plotter will pop up。 (3). Click“compensation setting”, a dialog box will pop up。

(4). Select“sharp-angle compensation”, adjust the value to required level。 The compensation ranges within 0.1-0.7, more often we set it to be 0.25. in addition, the plotting speed of the cutter shall be set below 20。

7.2 Question: Why there is an additional stroke after finishing cutting Answer: 1. check if the tip of cutter is flexible when it is up and down 。

2. change the Master software if there are some deviant letters。

3. check if there are some problems on the files you are ready to output。

7.3 Question: why does zigzag happen to the cutter?

Answer: as cutter PUCT motor features high power and speed, so the cutting speed shall be

adjusted according to size of character. Generally, to cut small glossy characters with high requirement for precision, thespeed shallnot exceed 40. In most cases, thespeed at the shift 50-60 is favorable. To cut big characters of large quantity within shortest time, the speed can be 70, 180, but since step distance of motor is so longthat evident zigzag occur. Therefore, you should set the speed to specific size of characters, and the relationship between speed and sizeof charactersplease refer to followingtable:

Size of font（mm） SPEED

＜10 10-20 10-30 30 30-50 40-50

50-500 60

＞500 70-80

7.4 Question: why do the paper deviate when it runs by a large margin? Answer:the paper feed bracket containing paper roll shall be completely parallel to paperweight

wheel, for big roll of materials, loosen it prior graving to prevent excessive obstruction whenplotting or graving.Forthe machines withfourpaperweight wheels, when plotting big image or characters back and forth, use the two paperweight wheels at sides instead of press the four down simultaneously. Unequal abrasion of the two wheels also may resultin deviationofthepaper;in worsecasereplacingwheelsis needed。

Troubleshooting PCUT SERIES USER‘S MANUAL

Page 24

7.5 Question: why does lock up happen in plotting output?

Answer：(1). Exterior 220 V input voltage is too low (150V), the plotter will restart thus

lock up happen。

(2). When disturbance of exterior 220 V input voltage is too high, lock up may

happen, to resolve it you can use purified regulated power source。

7.6 Question: Why does the machine feel tingle?

Answer: the machine might be improperly grounded, make sure central line of the power

source grounded。

7.7 Question: why does the job feel not smooth with sharp-angle raised when plotting?

Answer: (1). The protruding length of knife top is too long, please adjust it as required.

(2). The knife is abraded, replace it。

7.8 Question: why does the plotter first scratch a line before plotting?

Answer: because the machine illegally escape last time, there is still knife-dropping

instruction existing in the memory of plotter. To resolve it power off the machine and turn it on again。

7.9 Question: No LCD display or a black row of blocks are displayed?

Answer: (1). In case of no display, check whether the power work well。

(2). If black blocks are displayed, check whether voltage is at required level. If

troubles remainafter the above operation, please contactmaintenance center。

7.10 Question: why can not some characters close in strokes when it is plotting?

Answer: because the knife of the plotter is eccentric knife with a eccentric value, to

resolve it, set“closing compensation”in the software. For example: in Wentai software:

(1). Click“plotting output”once, a plotting output picture will pop up。 (2). Click“set”once, a picture of setting plotter will pop up。 (3). Click“compensation setting” a dialog box will pop up。

(4). Select closing compensation, adjust the value to required level,

generally the value is set to be 0.5。

7.11 Question: Why the machines have missed some pave of letter when cutting?

Answer：(1). Check the machine if it presses enough。

(2). Reinstall the software。 (3). Chook the head of the knife。 (4). If the problem is still in existence, please contact with repair center。

7.12 Question: why is the machine in low-speed state after start-up?

Answer： Because paper sensor fails to detect the fore end of paper. When feeding

paper make fore end of paper cover hole of paper sensor, then perform another automatic paper testing。

PCUT SERIES USER‘S MANUAL Troubleshooting

Page 25

7.13 Question: why do some nicks deep, while some shallow when cutting?

Answer: as PCUT employs upscale soft PVC materials as knife strip cushion to protect

knife. But long period using it may produce a trace therefore roughing the stripe cushion, so some nicks become deep, while some become shallow. To resolve it replace a stripe cushion. If is not so worse, adjust knife as described in section 3.2.B, increase knife press (some 120 -150)。

7.14 Question: why can not the plotter run when it is outputting?

Answer：(1). Check whether the plotter is properly connected with computer. PCUT is

connected with COM1 or COM2 of computer; check whether the set ports are conformed to those connected。

(2). Check whether the plotter is in online state, namely whether the LCD

displays“ON LINE”。

(3). Check whether the encryption card of software is properly. If not please

turn off the power and reinstall it. Check driving program of the plotter is for PCUT series。

7.15 Question: why can not the instant-glue be taken off?

Answer:(1). Perform trial run prior output, adjust press to appropriate level.

(2). Check whether the knife is used too long, or whether the knife top is broken.

For new ones the nick is thin in the instant-glue, while for old ones the nick is thick and impressive. To resolve it replace it with a new knife。
