Lynx cutting yesterday but not today

Hi everyone. Brand new to the forum and brand new to the Lynx cutter. This is going to be one long learning curve. Particularly as I've started off on a bad note, it seems. Just doing some general practice cuts yesterday. Everything was good. Today I tried again, and nothing happened. Lynx does the test cut okay and the SCAL software says it is sending file to the machine, but that's it. Uninstalled and then re-installed software. Unplugged USB and power cable. Still nothing.

Please help, because I have so many ideas running in my head, and I want to learn how to work this darn machine before I go crazy!

ok one thing to check is make sure you are on line when cutting and make sure it shows the correct port.

Also try a factory reset in case you have accidentally altered the Br rate

Definitely online when attempting to cut. Port never changed, but thanks for the feedback. Something to keep in mind in future, thanks Rachellann

Hmm, Thyme, you might be correct. I think I may have been pressing buttons and changed the Br rate. Will attempt this fix after breakfast!

I have a feeling I may be on here quite a few times!

OMG I feel so bad, I was going to suggest that, but didn't know the baud rate for the Lynx. Next time I will make sure i do.
