My die cuts along the web, but not across the web. 

 

Are you cutting the specified material for which the die was ordered. 

 

How old is the die? If it has been cutting polyester or another abrasive material, it may simply be 

blunt. 

 

The across the web cuts work a lot harder than the along the web cuts, so they are generally the 

first to wear. 

 

Double check that you have enough pressure on the die adjusters as well, as the cross cuts 

require more pressure to cut through the face stock than the along the web cuts. 

 

Do not use excessive force when tightening the die adjusters. You may damage the bearings or 

drive motor. 

My die cuts through intermittently, about ever 6-7" 

 

You need to check your anvil, as most likely there is something stuck to it. 

 

Electrical problems 

My machine will not start at all and there is no display on the screen 

 

Is your machine plugged in? 

 

Is your machine switched on? 

 

Is there power to the wall socket? 

 

If so, check the fuse inside the power supply where the plug goes into the machine. 

My display screen is on, but the machine won’t start 

 

Check the Main screen for a message that the Home Cycle needs to be run 

 

Does the Loop sensor “see” any paper 

 

Has the pre-determined counter reached its setting? 

 

Is the Emergency Stop depressed? 

 

Verify you are either connected to a 220V power source or to the internal power converter. 

My machine stopped suddenly 

 

Check that the unwind is working and feeding paper to the loop sensor properly 

 

Check the label count in case it has reached its target setting 

 

If the display reads “Time Out”, you have missed a mark and will have to restart the machine 

 

If the paper feed motor is under undue stress for a period of time, the machine can shut down 

as a safety thermal overload is activated. 

 

Shut the machine down and wait a couple of minutes, then re-start.
