So, why does this happen? There are some main reasons that contribute to this problem. The main problem is when the Cricut machine is not turned on and not at an appropriate distance from your computer or mobile device.

In such cases, you’ll need to ensure whether your devices are connected to the power supply and the Bluetooth option is enabled.
