6. Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---------|--------------|----------|
| Cuts not deep enough | Blade too short, force too low | Extend blade 0.1mm; increase force in 20g steps |
| Vinyl tears | Force too high, blade dull | Reduce force, replace blade (CB09U are cheap) |
| Weird corners (hooks) | Offset incorrect | Run test cut, adjust offset by ±0.05mm |
| Skipped steps / misalignment | Media slipping, speed too high | Clean grit rollers; reduce speed to 200mm/s |
| PC cannot connect | Flow control wrong | Set Flow = Hardware (RTS/CTS) |
| “COMMAND ERROR” on display | Wrong plotter language | In menu: INTFACE > COMMAND > GP-GL |
| Cutter moves but doesn't cut | Pen up/down failure | Replace coil spring in pen holder; clean sensor |
