  • Fully reset the connections on your machine with the following steps
  1. Power off the Silhouette cutting machine
  2. Disconnect the USB cable from both the Silhouette cutting machine and the computer
  3. Disconnect the power cable from the Silhouette cutting machine
  4. Firmly plug in and power on the Silhouette cutting machine after a minute of being unplugged
  5. Firmly connect the USB cable directly to the machine AND directly to the computer (bypassing any USB hubs)
