Hello,
I've been using an Epilog Mini 45W (model 8000) engraver for several years with no serious problems, until now.
- jobs were printing above the top edge of the paper. Y-axis zero was off by 0.405 inches. I recalibrated the y-axis home (pressing STOP + any key). It was set to -043, but I needed to move +405 counts. The max allowed is +200, so it is still 0.162 inches too low (with respect to the rear left corner of the table). Not a huge problem, but I'd like to understand it
- Bigger problem is I can't do center-center jobs (where you choose a temporary new home position by dragging the X & Y carriages. For example etching on a specific area of the work piece). When I press "set home", the laser head moves back to home every time. I can get around it by putting the etching work where I need it to go on the Corel file.
I have the latest firmware, 1.0.3.0
Rebooting doesn't help.
Epilog tech support are recommending a new control board for $680 (after $400 core refund)
Anyone seen these, and what was the solution?
Thank you
