AAS Errors on Roland Gr2-640

We've purchased a new VG3-640 Printer and a GR2-640 cutter a little less then half a year ago. We've been getting an "AAS ERROR" every once in a while. It doesn't matter if it is a highly complex print or just simple stickers. The other errors we get are "AAS DETECT FAIL" and "AAS FILE COMMAND ERROR". I am hoping to get some new methods of correcting the issue.

I have done extensive research to find the answers, so I want to list of what I have tried to do.

- Getting media width
- Re-ripping the media in both the VG3-640 printer and the cutter for good measure
- Moving the media clamps around
- Reducing reflective light near the crop marks
- Taking a black sharpie to make the crop marks darker

The method I have personally came up with is to tell my coworker to click print, waiting a second and then press the arrows to interrupt the AAS process. I then move the point of origin back to where the cutting tool is directly above the crop mark. I then press the "On and Off Line" wait a few seconds and it will start detecting after a couple of seconds. this works around 60% of the time.

This list has things we've done that could possibly cause the "AAS Error"
- Getting media width and then moving around the graphics to conserve media (in printer)
- Clicking "Center on the Media" (in printer)
- Changing the original size (in printer)
- Asking the cutter to cut image boundaries
- Using Clip and Tile to create overlap
