Check the fuses on the main lower board, and upper lower board. Which edge model is it?

The envision will run on a USB port with the Gerber USB- Serial cable. It should also run on all newer software.

You want to help or wait for power to discharge in the capacitors- that store energy after it has been unplugged. You do not want to work on the machine if there is still residual power in the system. The Pxxx conectors will be like P515, P128, for example.

Ive had the same problems before. I decided just to set pressure and speed at the cutter. The software mas not sending proper parameters. I think I also turned off the settiings option on flexi.

What Joe House said. Also - I wipe the vinyl about to be printed on with a dry microfiber towel. And 220 or 3M vinyl prints SO much better than 651. - smoother, no little pockets - just a better cast vinyl. Also - that pattern of imperfection looks like it may have been adhesive from tape...

I don’t think the photo attached and which printer?

I like it- very cool
