    Why does the media jump out on my GRAPHTEC CE6000?
    • B
      Brent MarquezAug 30, 2025
      If your Graphtec Plotter media jumps out to the forward side, it means you've likely selected the wrong type of media. Check the media type setting and ensure it matches the media you are using: "SHEET", "ROLL-1 REAR SET", or "ROLL-2 REAR SET."

    Why is media curling up on my GRAPHTEC Plotter?
    • L
      Laura VasquezAug 29, 2025
      If the media curls up at the corners or fine cut characters peel off when using your Graphtec Plotter, it could be due to several reasons: the blade being extended too far, a mismatch between the blade and OFFSET settings, the cutting speed being too high, a dull blade, or the ACCELERATION setting being too high. Try adjusting the blade length, changing the OFFSET, lowering the speed setting, replacing the blade, and lowering the ACCELERATION setting.

    How to fix coarse resolution of curved lines on GRAPHTEC CE6000?
    • M
      Ms. Karen LeAug 29, 2025
      If you're experiencing coarse resolution of curved lines on your Graphtec Plotter, it could be due to the software's resolution setting being too low or the blade offset angle being too low. Try adjusting the software's resolution setting and increasing the value for the blade offset angle.

    • J
      Joe AtkinsSep 23, 2025
      If the Graphtec Plotter displays error code E05001, it means data larger than the buffer size cannot be copied. Perform normal cutting instead of using the copy mode.

    How to fix rounded corners on GRAPHTEC CE6000?
    • S
      santiagoamyAug 27, 2025
      If your Graphtec Plotter's corners are rounded or too sharp, it means the blade and OFFSET settings do not match. To fix rounded corners, increase the OFFSET. If the corners are too sharp, decrease the OFFSET.

    Why is the blade cutting into the backing sheet on my GRAPHTEC CE6000?
    • M
      Mark AndrewsAug 27, 2025
      If the blade of your Graphtec Plotter is cutting into the backing sheet, it's likely that the blade is extended too far or the cutting FORCE is too high. Try adjusting the blade length and lowering the FORCE setting.

    What to do if my GRAPHTEC Plotter displays “LOAD MEDIA!” even after setting media?
    • A
      Amy PriceAug 26, 2025
      If the Graphtec Plotter displays "LOAD MEDIA!" even when the media is set and the media set lever is moved up, it could be due to a few reasons. If the media is close to transparent, the media sensor might be making false recognitions; in this case, disable the media sensor and manually set the cut area. Strong scattered reflection might also cause the media sensor to malfunction, so try repositioning the light source to avoid direct sunlight. If neither of these solutions works, there may be a defect in the operation of the media set lever sensor, and you should contact your sales representative or the Graphtec call center.

    Why is my GRAPHTEC Plotter cutting on the grit roller imprint?
    • W
      Willie LawsonAug 26, 2025
      If your Graphtec Plotter is cutting on the grit roller imprint, it means the cutting width has been widened. To resolve this, revert the expand limit to the default setting.
