[JeepGuy]

45xp , when i change consumables i have to manually fire the cutter in mach4 or it wont fire when it goes to cut, is this normal? i only have to do it once and its fine untill i change them out again. sorry if this is a dumb question , im still kinda new to this

Any error codes? Are you powering it down before you remove the consumables?

No codes, no I'm not, I guess I should be?

To me that sounds like a G-code problem, the circuit is there and the consumables are ok if you can manually fire it from Mach.
you can also try putting an M3 in the MDI box on that page and hit enter, be ready to hit the reset to stop the firing after that.

My 65 displays an error if I remove the consumables with the power on. Maybe the 45xp is different.

The 45XP will not fire after the consumables are changed until you power down the machine and turn it on again. It is a safety feature.

You guys were right, If I shut it off when I cange then it's fine. I really need to download the book for it.
