Why does GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP tool condition change?
If tool condition changes on your Graphtec Plotter, the setting of the priority is likely set to PROGRAM. Change the setting of the priority to MANUAL. Also, ensure that you press the [ENTER] key after changing the TOOL CONDITION and check the TOOL CONDITION again.
Why can't I change tool condition on GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP?
If you cannot change the tool condition on your Graphtec Plotter, the setting for sorting might be set to ON. Normally, the plotter should be used with the setting for sorting OFF.
Why does Graphtec Plotter have coarse resolution of curved lines?
If you are experiencing coarse resolution of curved lines on your Graphtec Plotter, it could be due to the software's resolution setting being too low. Adjust the software's resolution setting. Alternatively, the blade offset angle might be too low; increase the value for the blade offset angle.
Why does Graphtec Plotter blade fall out?
If the blade falls out of the tool plunger of your Graphtec Plotter, the blade is likely too small for the tool plunger. Use a blade that fits securely in the tool plunger.
Why does GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP Plotter drop media while detecting?
If the media drops while detecting on your Graphtec Plotter, bright light might be shining onto the media sensor. Block the light if there is direct sunlight shining on the plotter, especially if it's placed near a window. Also, move away any fluorescent lamps that are close to the plotter. If the problem persists, the media sensor may be defective. Contact your sales representative or the Graphtec call center. As a temporary workaround, you can set the media sensor to DISABLED.
What to do if GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP Plotter stops with 'POSITION ALARM'?
If the Graphtec Plotter stops with "POSITION ALARM" during initialization or cutting, it might be due to an invalid CONDITION setting for the media. Try slowing down the speed or lowering the FORCE. Also, ensure that the pen carriage isn't hitting anything. If it is, remove the obstruction and restart the plotter. External force applied to the pen carriage or media chaff in the operation area can also cause this issue; remove any obstructions and restart the plotter. If none of these steps resolve the problem, the plotter may be defective, and you should contact your sales representative or the Graphtec call center.
Why do GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP Plotter cutting results differ from specified size?
If the cutting results from your Graphtec Plotter differ from the specified size, it could be due to the STEP SIZE being set differently on the computer and the plotter. Ensure that the STEP SIZE is set to the same value on both devices. Additionally, check whether scaling has been specified on the computer, as this could also affect the final size.
Why can't Graphtec Plotter cut above certain length?
If your Graphtec Plotter cannot cut above a certain length, the length of the cut likely exceeds the page length set on the plotter. Press the [SLOW] key to check the cutting area and ensure the page length setting is correctly matched.
Why are there too many tool up and down on GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP Plotter?
If there are too many tool up and down movements on your Graphtec Plotter, the setting for the tangential mode might be set to ON. Turn OFF the tangential mode unless you are cutting thick media.
What does command error mean on Graphtec Plotter?
If your Graphtec Plotter displays a command error, it means the data sent to the plotter is not correct. Check the data for any discrepancies.
