A Cricut Joy Xtra machine has only a Bluetooth connection to set up on a device. However, sometimes it experiences problems while connecting to a Bluetooth device. These problems include:
- The machine is not listed in the Bluetooth devices.
- The Bluetooth connection fails
- Bluetooth connection keeps disconnecting while cutting.
All of these problems are common with a Cricut Joy Xtra machine, and can be resolved through these troubleshooting steps.
Problem 1: Cricut Joy Xtra Not Showing Up in Bluetooth Devices
If the machine is not showing up in Bluetooth devices, these are the potential reasons behind this:
- Cricut Joy Xtra is placed too far away from the device.
- The machine is not turned on properly.
- Minor technical glitch in the machine.
Solution 1: Check the Machine’s Connection
Check if the machine is properly connected to the power outlet. Because if the machine is not turned on properly, it will not show up in the list of Nearby Bluetooth devices.
Solution 2: Bring the Machine Close to the Device
Don’t place the machine more than 10-15 feet away from the device. Otherwise, the device won’t recognize the machine.
Solution 3: Unplug and Replug the Machine
Restarting the machine will fix the minor technical problem inside it. Simply remove the power cable of the machine from the power source and reconnect it after a few minutes.
Problem 2: Bluetooth Connection Fails
When the Bluetooth connection fails consistently, remove Cricut Joy Xtra from the computer and connect again.
- Click the Start button on the computer’s taskbar at the bottom left, and search for Settings.
- Select Bluetooth & Devices from the left sidebar.
- Find the Cricut Joy Xtra machine name, and click the Remove option.
- Once removed, it will appear in the list of available Bluetooth devices. Just select it and connect again.
Problem 3: Bluetooth Connection Keeps Disconnecting While Cutting
If the Bluetooth connection repeatedly disconnects while cutting, any other connected device might be interfering.
If your computer is connected to multiple devices, such as headphones, a mobile device, or other devices, the Bluetooth connection will frequently disconnect.
Hence, disconnect other devices from the computer or mobile device. Here are the steps to do so:
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard and search for “Settings,” then open it.
- Select the Bluetooth & Devices option.
- All the connected devices will be displayed on the screen. Click the Remove option to disconnect the unnecessary devices.
After that, the machine will start cutting uninterrupted.
