The Print Then Cut cut sensor light on the underside of the carriage* is used to scan cut sensor marks and should turn on as the machine scans your material during Print Then Cut calibration or projects. Please note the following if you have a concern about your Print Then Cut sensor light:
- It is okay if this sensor light is always on, or always off, during cut-only projects.
- If the light is already on when you open the machine, prior to powering it on, this is due to residual electrical current in the machine. It does not signify a defect or other machine issue.
- If the light comes on when you power the machine on, it is usually because a tool clamp on the carriage is in the down position. To try turning this light off you can either lift the clamp(s) or power the machine off and back on.
- If the light does not come on when attempting Print Then Cut projects:
- Attempt Print Then Cut Calibration.
- If the light does not come on during calibration, contact Member Care for assistance.
Note: *Print Then Cut compatible machines, which have this sensor light, include Cricut Explore series, Cricut Maker series, Cricut Joy Xtra, and Cricut Venture machines.
