Question: Why can't I weed the graphics after cutting?
Most likely, you haven't cut the vinyl deeply enough to cut through the face film and
adhesive. To fix this, adjust the pressure setting and perform a test cut. This can be done from
the control panel or from the LXi Production Manager. Weed the test pattern to make sure
the vinyl's face film and adhesive have been cut, but that the release liner isn't scored too
deeply. Adjust the pressure setting as needed. Then proceed with your vinyl graphics.

Question: What kind of maintenance does my ARTisan cutter need?
All ARTisan plotters are made with high-quality internal lubrication to protect all mechanical
components. Therefore, there is no need to oil or lubricate any of the components, ever!
Daily care consists of cleaning the platen and blade holder to prevent buildup of dust and
vinyl debris. Dusting the platen with a soft brush will get the job done perfectly. Vinyl debris
in the blade holder can be removed using a can of compressed air and a nozzle.
Answer:
3. Check the settings in your LXi Production Manager and make sure the send mode window
is set to Send Now (Refer to Section 2.4). If the setting is File or Hold in List, the data won’t
be sent from your computer to the vinyl cutter. If it is set to Hold in List, you will find the
jobs holding in the cutter queue. Click on the job in the queue and use the File/Cut Plot
command or click the Send icon.
