-
Will not compute when the compute key is pressed, or draw out the job when shift/ compute is pressed caused by: Entering a plate size larger that 5x8.
-
Will not shift/computed caused by: The job had already been computed (the job can not be drawn after it has already been-computed), the letter height was set at 0.
-
Baselines 1/4" off caused by: Using the wrong jigs, such as using jig B when the set-up has been done for jig A on the job option screen.
-
Baselines off caused by: Not squaring the cutter properly, the dimensions of the plate being different from those entered, the home position being off, using a jig different than the machine is set up for.
-
Ghosting caused by: Not squaring the cutter properly excessive pressure, a blemished nosecone, soft material.
-
The engraving depth varying caused by: Not squaring the cutter properly, the carbide cutter tip not sharpened properly, the engraving speed set too high, not using a nosecone.
-
Lettering lighter on one side of the plate when doing diamond scratch engraving caused by not squaring the cutter properly.
-
When using Autolayout, will not accept a new created layout caused by not entering choice of "USE THIS Autolayout" before leaving the Autolayout screen.
-
Phantom blank lines when using an Autolayout caused by: Not erasing extra tic-pairs from the previous autolayout.
-
Home position off because home was not set properly.
-
Attempting to reset home using "SET JIGS" instead of "SHIFT/SET JIGS".
-
Using the accent key for kerns instead of the real kern key.
-
Trying to use the European accent marks over the wrong characters (they will not work unless used with the correct letters). The "0" accent will put a line through a O, not print a 0.
-
Thinking that the kern will be an engraved character.
-
Saving exactly 160 lines and causing WE-2 chips to freeze.
-
Thinking a cartridge is faulty because all of the fonts will not work when two cartridge font sets are installed in the machine. The machine can only have 8 fonts total (the two in the machine, 4 off the first font set cartridge, and the first 2 off the second font set cartridge).
