Is the memory card inserted and the contrast knob on the keypad adjusted?

[DLTHOMPSON]

No the memory card is not inserted yet could some connection become lose in a very short move?

Make sure the machine is powered off then insert the card/turn the switch on. Unit will not display if the cards not in.

Great.... We all have done that at least once.

1 hour in on a 3.5 hour carve. My first attempt at a litho. Picked up some polyethylene cutting boards on closeout at the local Pamida. Set hight at 900 and depth at 0.4 with a board 7/16th inch thick on a sled. Didn't see where I could set the max mass depth but so far is going ok. Hope to post a picture of my completed project when done

Max pass depth? Are you talking about for the cut out? It is in the input screen/box when you are setting up the cut out.

Not sure on your depth and height setting but thinking that the 900 height might be to high. Good luck and waiting to see your results...

[DLTHOMPSON]

This is the photo I started with to make the litho. I thaught somewhere along the I read that the height of the pattern should be set at 900.

For 1/4" material the recommended settings are .180 depth and 450 height.
