Troubleshooting CAMEO 3: Firmware Problems

Have you ever heard the old adage, “When all else fails, read the directions.” If you follow the CAMEO 3 setup instructions I can almost guarantee smooth sailing ahead.

Silhouette America’s robust troubleshooting FAQ section on their website, which is available for reference any time, day or night!

Firmware

First off, make sure that your Silhouette CAMEO® 3 has the latest firmware installed.

DON’T ASSUME THAT SINCE IT’S A NEW MACHINE IT AUTOMATICALLY HAS THE LATEST FIRMWARE.

I can’t stress this enough. Update the Firmware before going any further in the setup process. To do this, go to https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/firmware, and download the file for the CAMEO 3 that is compatible with your operating system. See below for a picture of the Firmware Update page.


Just by updating your Firmware, you’ll be mitigating 99% of any possible problems.

CAMEO 3 Firmware Bricked

If you tried to update your firmware and the process was interrupted (your computer restarted, froze, etc.) you may have experienced a bad firmware update. If you’re in that boat, never fear, it’s fixable! Check out the steps listed on the Silhouette America FAQ regarding CAMEO 3 Firmware Bricked. Once your Firmware is updated, ensure your software is also up-to-date to prevent any further issues.

Silhouette AutoBlade Compatible
Sit back and relax, Silhouette CAMEO 3 has a built in AutoBlade. You will never forget to adjust your blade, the Silhouette will do it for you. In addition to having an AutoBlade, the CAMEO 3 works with the Deep-Cut Blade.







Dual-Carriage
The CAMEO 3 features a dual-carriage. The tool holders are marked with red circle on the left and a blue circle on the right. Insert your tools (such as an AutoBlade and a sketch pen) into the corresponding tool holders as you have assigned in your Cut Settings in Silhouette Studio and watch your machine perform two different functions in one cut job.








Additional Storage
Blade and other storage compartments keep all your extra blades and Silhouette tools in one easy to access storage compartment.









Matless Cutting Capability
The CAMEO 3 is the leading digital cutter for matless cutting. When using paperbacked material such as vinyl or heat transfer the Silhouette CAMEO can cut these materials without using a mat. This allows the CAMEO to cut materials up to 10 feet in length. Do more with your CAMEO than any other cutter on the market!






Silhouette Design Store
The Silhouette Design Store is a marketplace of ready-made shapes for use with your Silhouette. There you will find over 100,000 downloadable designs from dozens of talented artists. Once you’ve purchased a design it is yours to keep and use as much as you want. Build your own personal digital design library to use whenever you want. With the Silhouette Design Store you only pay for the designs you really want—no need for expensive cartridges or access to shapes you’ll never use.


Silhouette Studio software is the most robust and powerful design software for any cutting system on the market. This innovative software is highlighted with features normally found in high-end illustrating software, yet is amazingly simple, easy to use, and absolutely free to Silhouette users. Silhouette Studio gives you countless ways to customize your project.

Have Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator? For the lost price we have you covered with a Plug-in that allows you to design and cut directly from these programs using Silhouette Connect.


PixScan technology is a new feature in the Silhouette cutting system that allows makers to cut precisely around a printed design or to position cut lines in a specific location on your material using a scanner or camera. You can even use your smartphone or tablet. The PixScan algorithm allows the Silhouette CAMEO to recognize specially placed registration marks on the PixScan cutting mat. PixScan is ideal for saving any scanned or photographed image into your personal digital library or turning a hand-drawn sketch into a new custom cut file.
