In this cases, you could try to magnetize a small screwdriver (just rub any magnet on the shaft) und pull the knife with that magnetic screwdriver out of the head.

It is not common that the cutter freezes all the time. In this case, the first thing I will do is to reset the cutter to the factory settings, with the factory settings available for download on the summa website. There are a lot of reasons why the cutter don´t cut accurately. Depending on what...

I think as long as someone blames a machine without telling why, besides the fact that the machine he blames is one of the most recommended here on signs101, we do not take him serious. I do support summa cutters for more than 20 years, very often the problem stands in front of the machine

How old are your cap tops? If they are worn out, cleaning will have no effect.

It looks like that you use the wrong software for your cutter. The software "Camera Control" is for the S1 only, for the S2 the camera driver is integrated in Cutter Control 5. If using Cutter Control 5 together with Camera Control could lead to conflicts. Try to use Cutter Control only.

How does the nozzle test looks like?

You have a PC-600 up and running for printing? Will be hard to get ribbons and spare parts. Flexi should be a RIP with a driver for the PC 600. It have worked well 20 years ago when the PC-600 was a current model.

It works exactly like with the Graphtec, if everything is configured correctly. There are a few things you can do wrong: OPOS-CAM needs Summa Cutter Control up and running while doing contour cut, because the driver software of the camera is integrated in Summa Cutter Control. OPOS-CAM will...

You can use the syringe at the tubes of the cap tops. If you do it at the dampers, you will not flush the heads. If you want to do it automatically, you should use HEAD WASH in the INK CONTROL menu.

The printer doesn‘t set margins, if not specially configured to do so, or the machine is misaligned. I would check the default media formats configured through „Manage Printers“ in the file menu.

If you create it as a copy from the original CD, it should have the correct name automatically.

It works with a mounted ISO Disc Image of the original DVD. Tested it myself. So if you know someone who have a disc, just let them create a disc image to download.

The accuracy of printer profiles would be the best if you profile them on your printer and on your media. Calibrating the monitor only will not lead to reliable color consistency between printer and display. If you have FlexiSIGN & PRINT (or an older FlexiSIGN-PRO), you have color profiling...

Summasign SL-Series was produced between 2004 and 2005, so the Summa is at minimum 15 years old. A new Summasign had better tracking than the mimaki, but no idea if it is still the same with such an old cutter.

Yes, the sensor touches the media.

Welcome from Offenburg/Baden-Württemberg

Would be VERY HELPFUL to know the model of your cutter. There are two main generations of OPOS, and the older one could have problems with todays inkjet printers because of possibly low density of the print. It is possible to calibrate the sensor (is named media calibration).

The PNC5000 is a machine from the mid-90s, it will be hard to find any consumables or spare parts. I would not invest any time or money.
