What causes jagged cutting edges on my Gerber Printer and how to fix it?
If your Gerber printer is producing jagged or serrated cutting edges, try replacing the knife. Also, check for proper theta home, and if it's incorrect, perform a theta adjustment.
What to do if my Gerber HS15 Plus has no power?
If your Gerber printer isn't powering on, begin by inspecting the power cable and plugs to ensure they are securely connected. Next, verify the ON/OFF switches are in the correct position. Finally, check the fuse to see if it has blown.
What to do if I see a plotter error on my Gerber Printer?
If your Gerber printer displays a plotter error, first try pressing the RESET button. If the error persists, verify the print job and resend it to the printer.
What causes thick and thin strokes on my Gerber HS15 Plus Printer?
If your Gerber printer produces thick and thin strokes, check the following: 1. Ensure the material is correctly aligned in the sprockets. 2. Verify the blade position in the knife holder. For issues in normal mode, contact Gerber Field Service for X Axis (backlash) adjustment. For issues in Axis Swap mode, contact Gerber Field Service for Y Axis (backlash) adjustment.
How to fix inconsistent tool/material contact with my Gerber Printer?
To address inconsistent tool and material contact with your Gerber printer, start by cleaning the spindle bore and tool holder. Then, change the knife blade. Also, check for proper Z home and perform a Z adjustment for tool height.
