The POWER/ERROR LED is blinking
If there is an error in the data downloaded to the PNC-950 from the computer, the PNC-950 generates an error (the POWER/
ERROR LED begins to blink), and cutting cannot be carried out. The error can be canceled by switching off the power.
After turning off the power, check the following.
• If you are using application software, has the correct output device been selected?
Select "PNC-950" as the output device. If this selection is not available, select any model in the PNC-900, PNC-1100
or PNC-1000A).
• If you are using a program that you have created yourself, have correct commands been sent?
The PNC-950 is equipped with the CAMM-GL III instruction system. For details, refer to "8 List of CAMM-GL III
Instructions" on page 22.
• Do the DIP switch settings match the settings made for the application software?
Refer to "4-2 DIP Switch Settings" on page 6 to make the correct DIP switch settings.
• Does the connecting cable match the settings for the application software and the computer?
Refer to the operation manuals for your application software and computer to select and connect the appropriate cable.
The PEN MODE LED and POWER/ERROR LED blink simultaneously
• The position of the pinch rollers when the sheet is loaded is not correct (i.e., there are no grit rollers under the pinch
rollers).
These two LEDs also blink simultaneously if DIP switch SW-9 is set to OFF ("piece") and a flat sheet with a vertical
length of 100 mm (3-15/16") or less has been loaded.
You can cancel the error by pressing the SETUP key.
See "4-4 Loading the Sheet" on page 8 to load the sheet correctly.
The sheet is not cut properly
• Are the blade and blade holder installed correctly and securely?
Install these so that there is no looseness (see "4-3 Installing the blade" on page 7).
• Is the blade chipped?
If it is, replace it with a new one (see "4-3 Installing the blade" on page 7).
• Check if there are any dirty deposits on the blade.
If dirty, remove and clean the blade.
• Is the PEN MODE LED lit up?
If the PEN MODE key has been pressed and the PEN MODE LED has lit up, it means that the PNC-950 has been set
up for plotting on paper, which is not suitable for cutting.
Press the PEN MODE key to make the PEN MODE LED go out before trying to perform cutting (refer to page 18,
"Plotting on Paper Media").
• Make sure you are using an appropriate blade force setting.
Perform a "cutting test," then adjust the blade force slider as necessary to obtain the optimum blade force (refer to page
13, "4-6 Cut Test to Check Blade Force").
• When cutting a thick sheet, set DIP switch SW-8 to ON (heavy). (See "4-2 DIP Switch Settings" on page 6 and
"Cutting a Thick Sheet" on page 15.)
The sheet slips away from the pinch rollers during the cutting process
• Are the sheet loading levers on both the left and right sides raised?
If a sheet loading lever has not been raised, then the sheet has not been secured in place. Make sure that the pinch
rollers on the left and right sides are within the boundaries of the sheet, and raise the sheet loading levers. (Refer to "4-
4 Loading a Sheet" on page 8.)
• Make sure the sheet is parallel with the grit roller.
If the front edge of the sheet you are working with is at an angle, cut off the odd-shaped part to make it straight, then
align it so that it is parallel with the grit roller.
• If the sheet is to be advanced over a long distance, moving the movable pinch roller inward slightly can help prevent
the sheet from becoming dislodged. Also, after loading the sheet, it is recommended that you carry out an alignment
test by using the
key to advance the sheet by the amount that will be used for cutting, and make sure that the sheet
travels correctly through the machine.
• If a roll sheet is used, carry out cutting after first pulling out the amount of sheet that is to be used. The sheet may
easily slip if cutting is performed while pulling a sheet that is still rolled up into the PNC-950.
• Make sure that the left and right edges of the sheet do not touch the inner surfaces of the PNC-950 during cutting.
Such contact may not only damage the sheet, but could also make normal sheet advancing impossible and cause the
sheet to slip.
