6 What to do if...
Is the PNC-960/910 power on?
Is the unit in SETUP status (the SETUP LED is

Is the PAUSE LED illuminated?
If connected via the serial port, do the
communication parameters for the PNC-960/
910 match those of the computer?
Is the computer set up correctly?
Are the computer and the PNC-960/910 linked
with the right cable?
Is the cable making a secure connection?
Is the OS set up correctly?
Are the application software settings correct?
Are the settings for the driver software correct?
If there is an error in the data downloaded to the PNC-960/910 from the computer, the PNC-960/910 generates an error (the POWER/ERROR
LED begins to blink), and cutting cannot be carried out. The error can be canceled by switching off the power.
After turning off the power, check the following.
If you are using application software, has the
correct output device been selected?
If you are using a program that you have created
yourself, have correct commands been sent?
Do the DIP switch settings match the settings
made for the application software?
Does the connecting cable match the settings
for the application software and the computer?
Are the blade and blade holder installed
correctly and securely?
Is the blade chipped?
Check if there are any dirty deposits on the
Is the PEN MODE LED lit up?

If the PNC-960/910 doesn't run...
Turn on the power (refer to "3-4 Loading/Removing the Material Turning on the Power").
If the SETUP LED is not illuminated, make sure the sheet is loaded correctly and press the
SETUP key to illuminate the SETUP LED.
If the PAUSE key has been pressed and the PAUSE LED is lit up, the unit has been paused
(refer to "3-7 Downloading Cutting Data Pausing Cutting Operations").
If you want to resume cutting, press the PAUSE key again. The PAUSE LED is extinguished,
and cutting resumes. If you want to terminate cutting, first stop the transmission of cutting
instructions from the computer to the PNC-960/910. Then press the SETUP key. This deletes
the cutting instructions that have already been sent from the computer to the PNC-960/910, and
cutting is stopped.
Set the DIP switches correctly (refer to "3-2 DIP Switch Settings").
Check the following items:
- DIP switches - Memory switches
- Other settings
Read the computer user's manual and set it up correctly.
The type of cable you need is determined by your computer and the software you are using.
Even if the computer is the same, running different software may require a different cable.
Use the cable specified in your software.
Connect securely (refer to "3-1 Setting Up and Connection").
Check the following items:
- Output port selection - Output device selection
- Communication parameters
Check the OS user's manual and set it up correctly.
Check the following items:
- Output device specifications (select a device name that matches the instruction system. If
the wrong device is selected an incorrect instruction may be output, resulting in an error).
- Communication parameters
- Other settings
Check the software user's manual and set it up correctly.
If you are using driver software for output on the PNC-960/910, then make the settings for the
correct driver in the computer. Select the PNC-960/910 as the output device. If the PNC-960/
910 is not available as a selection, you may select either the PNC-1100, PNC-950, or PNC-900.
The POWER/ERROR LED is blinking
Select "PNC-960/910" as the output device. If this selection is not available, select any model in
the PNC-1100, PNC-950 or PNC-900.
The PNC-960/910 is equipped with the CAMM-GL III instruction system. For more details, see
"7 Instruction Support Chart" and the separately available "CAMM-GL III Programmer's
Manual."
Refer to "3-2 DIP Switch Settings" to make the correct DIP switch settings.
Refer to the operation manuals for your application software and computer to select and
connect the appropriate cable.
The material is not cut properly
Install these so that there is no looseness (refer to "3-3 Installing/Removing a Blade Installing
the Blade").
If it is, replace it with a new one (refer to "5 About the Blade").
If dirty, remove and clean the blade.
When the PEN MODE LED is lit up, it means that the PNC-960/910 is set up for plotting on
paper. Press the PEN MODE key to make the PEN MODE LED go dark, then carry out cutting
(refer to "4-2 Plotting on Paper Media").
Perform a "cutting test," then adjust the blade force slider as necessary to obtain the optimum
blade force (refer to "3-6 Cutting Test to Check Blade Force").
When cutting a thick material, set DIP switch SW-8 to ON (heavy). (Refer to "3-2 DIP Switch
Settings".)
