Checking Your Stencil After your “Sample” stencil has finished cutting, this would be a good time to tweak your settings. You want to look at your “Sample” stencil and decide if there are any setting changes that need to be made. Ask yourself the following questions to see if any changes need to be made. Q: Did my stencil cut all the way through my stencil board. A: If your stencil did NOT cut all the way through your stencil board, the blade needs to be adjusted. Turn the blade out of the foot holder no more than a ¼ of a turn, then re-cut your stencil. If you are still having problems cutting out the stencil completely, keep adjusting the blade until the stencil cuts out completely. Q: Did my stencil cut completely through the two ply material? “Examples of two ply materials are Ultra-Cut, Poly-NT and Vinyl.” A: When cutting two ply material, you do NOT want to cut all the way through the entire sheet. You only want to cut the top layer and scar the bottom, the bottom layer is just the backing for the material. If you are cutting all the way through the material, the blade needs to be adjusted. Turn the blade in to the foot holder no more than ¼ of a turn, then re-cut your stencil. If you are still cutting the entire piece of material, keep adjusting your blade until you only scar the backing of the material. Q: The blade cut all the way through the stencil board, but it seems to be cutting to deep? A: Yes, it is possible to cut the stencil board to deep. You can tell that you have cut the stencil board to deep, by looking at the cutting strip on your SC-5 machine. The cutting strip is a small thin strip of plastic that the blade comes into contact with while cutting your stencil. If you notice big gouges or deep cuts in the cutting strip, you have cut your stencil to deep. Turn the blade into the foot holder ¼ of a turn, and re-cut your stencil. Note: This User’s Guide is intended only as a starting point & general guideline for

setting up & operating your SC-5 stencil machine & Stencil-CAD software. Each machine will not use exactly the same settings every time a stencil is cut. There are just too many variables involved in the machine & software operation for that to be

true. Depending on the number of stencils the end-user cuts in a given day, it is possible that they would have to tweak the machine daily to get clean, consistent

cuts. Hands-on operation and playing with the settings is often times the best way to learn how to best use the SC-5 & Stencil-CAD system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I connected my USB Dongle before installing Stencil-Cad, and now Stencil-Cad cannot recognize the Dongle. A: Follow these instructions 1. From the Windows Start Menu, open the Control Panel 2. From the Control Panel under Windows ME & 98SE, double-click the Devices icon to display all of the hardware that has been connected to this workstation. Proceed to step 5. 3. From the Control Panel under Windows 2000 & XP, double-click the System icon. 4. From the Hardware tab, click the Device Manager button to display all of the hardware that has been connected to this workstation. 5. Within the Device Manager window, locate the USB device that is indentified as an unknown device, and then choose uninstall and delete the unknown USB device. 6. Close the Device Manager “and if necessary click OK to close the System Properties dialog”. 7. Disconnect the USB Dongle. 8. Place the Stencil-Cad program CD into the workstation CD-ROM drive. If prompted to choose a language, click cancel. 9. From the Start Menu, choose the Run item. 10. Form the Run dialog, click Browse and locate the file called “HINSTALL.EXE” which is on the Stencil-Cad CD. 11. After the “HINSTALL.EXE” file has been found, click within the edit file and type “-1” (space-minus-eye) after the file name. 12. Click OK to close the Run dialog and the USB dongle driver software will be reinstalled. 13. After the USB driver software has been reinstalled, reboot your computer Q: When I try to send a file to the SC-5 machine to be cut, I receive the following error message “Cannot Locate Security Device”? A: There are several solutions to this problem, please check all of the following. 1. Make sure the dongle is secured in the USB port. 2. Plug the dongle into another USB port, to make sure you do not have a USB problem with your computer. 3. Your password might be incorrect in your software. Check the Stencil-CAD settings in the top menu. 4. Drivers on your computer might need updated. “Windows XP SP2 only” Contact support to download or have new drivers e-mailed to you.

23

Q: When I send a file to the SC-5 machine to be cut, the screen shows bytes sent to the machine, but the SC-5 machine is not cutting? A: Make sure that you have set a start point on the SC-5 machine, the green light should be on. If that does not help, your “COM Port” settings could be wrong in your software. Please refer to page 10 to change the COM Port settings. Q: There seems to be an over cut on my stencils, or small swirl marks at the connecting points? A: The “Speed” knob on the SC-5 machine might be set too high. Lower the “Speed” setting and re-cut your stencil. Also make sure that you have a sharp blade installed, a dull or chipped blade can cause cutting problems. If you are still having problems, select “Cut” then “Tool Options” on the top menu, and make sure that the “Blade Off-Set” is set to .047. Q: How do I cut multiple copies of a stencil? A: When you are ready to cut your stencil, select “Cut” on the top menu, and change the “Repeat” number. Q: When the SC-5 machine is cutting a stencil, it stops in the middle of cutting the stencil? A: See LED Codes Chart Q: Can I install Stencil-CAD on multiple computers? A: No, Stencil-CAD is made for stand-alone computers only and cannot be networked. Q: I do not have any of the “Stencil” fonts installed into my software? A: The “Stencil” fonts are installed with the software during the installation. To install the fonts, click “File” on the top menu, then “Install”, then select “Font”. Make sure that CADLINK.VEF is checked. Click the “Search Now” button and then “Install All”.

24

Front Panel LED Error Codes: LED codes are error messages visible on the front panel of the sign cutter between the force knob and Start/Stop switch. These errors normally occur while cutting a stencil or just as the stencil is sent to the cutter. The LED can be green, red or a flashing combination of both. If the front panel green light is blinking once: Possible Cause: Solution: The carriage (Y-axis) is jammed. Turn off your cutter and clear away any

debris or jammed material. If the front panel red light is blinking once: Possible Cause: Solution: 1. The drive shaft (X-axis) is jammed. 2. The machine is having trouble pulling the media off of the roll.

1. Turn off your cutter and clear away any debris or jammed material. 2. Create a “gravity loop” by unrolling enough media to create your whole stencil without the machine having to pull it off of the roll itself.

If the front panel red light is blinking twice: Possible Cause: Solution: Buffer overflow or communication problem.

Clear the buffer by turning the machine off, then pressing & holding the “Up” arrow button on the front panel as you turn the machine back on. When the carriage starts to move, release the “Up” arrow button.
