Hi, I have an Epilog entry-level 30-watt Zing laser. I've been using it all night and it was operating perfectly. Suddenly, about an hour ago, it started two different weird things.
I should explain that I use Adobe Illustrator vs. Corel Draw, but it's always worked great for me.
First thing: I cut a sheet of wood into different pieces. I ran the machine at 10% Speed, 80% Power and 500 Freq. It worked like a champ. After this I closed that file and opened a different image. Since this was a new shape, I set the machine for 100 speed and 5% power, as I print onto paper before doing the real cut. However, when I went to cut this new job, the machine kept trying to print the previous job. Try as I might, I could not get it to stop doing this.
I cleaned the cache on my computer, removing all temp files, then restarted the computer.
Now problem #2. It stopped the problem described above, but now whenever I try to do a job (I've tried several), as soon as I hit GO the machine beeps and says, "Done."
I've seen it do this before, but I've triple-checked all the settings and they all look perfect.
It's late. I'm tired. I'll check back in the morning.
Thank You,
Scott
