For the ancient ones:
I have a 4B that I use sometimes. I mainly use a 4E, but to me it is seeming to have a few issues lately with cuts skipping (mainly vertical) or not meeting at the corners.
I did replace the Theta belt last year. I think this might be a manual blade depth setting issue, but I am getting sick of the trial and error method.
The old 4B seemed to be more reliable.
I would like to hook it up again.
Although it works without the LMK, it seemed that the module helped it, memory-wise*. However, I cannot for the life of me remember where to plug it in!
Does it go into a font slot, and if so, which one? And once it's in, is that it?
Are there any special settings in Composer?
Pardon my ignorance.
When I got the used 4E I assumed it would need the LMK, so I unplugged it from the 4B lo these past 4 years ago. At this time, Gerber still supported the machine and I was able to get a good tecchie to help me rig up the 4E.
Once my truck is paid off I plan to try and find a used Envision or similar and come up out of the dark ages. If nobody has an answer, I will tinker with the 4E some more. And yes, my sprockets are clean and my metal bars are oiled.
Love....Jill
*memory meaning, the 4B with the LMK did not seem to feel the need to spool backwards to home after every certain length increment like the 4E does, and the 4E sometimes will not cut the second panel in stacked jobs (only the first and third!)
