First, thank you for replying. Yes, it was working fine and no, no settings have been changed. the machine is appr. 8/9 years old.

i would look for something stuck to the tool holder. manually flick it up and down. look for a broken wire.
mine just had an issue where it wouldnt drop the electric eye and read crop marks. i have to do a factory reset on it and then it worked fine again

Can you record a video of it with your phone and upload it to youtube? Having some troubles understanding still.

Does the knife holder go up/down at all, or does it just move across the carriage?
