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.
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.
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.
Why does GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP media travel tilted?
If the media travels tilted in your Graphtec Plotter, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the media is loaded straight. If it's slipping, perform pre-feed to make an impression and reduce slippage. Also, verify that the hold-down force of the push roller is appropriate for the media being used; adjust accordingly.
Why does Graphtec Plotter cut line start crooked?
If the cut line starts out crooked on your Graphtec Plotter, the blade inside the plunger might not be turning smoothly. Remove any dirt from inside the plunger.
Why is GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP Plotter cutting on grit roller imprint?
If your Graphtec Plotter is cutting on the grit roller imprint, it indicates that the cutting width has been widened. Revert the expand limit to the default setting.
Why does GRAPHTEC CE7000-130AP Plotter blade skip?
If the blade skips and does not completely cut lines that should be solid, or straight cut lines seem to wobble on your Graphtec Plotter, it could be due to the blade being extended too far. Adjust the blade length. Also, the cutting speed might be too high, so try lowering the speed setting.
Why does Graphtec Plotter media wobble?
If the media wobbles in your Graphtec Plotter, it might be because the push rollers are not set correctly on the grit rollers. Check the position of the push rollers. Also, ensure that the hold-down force of the push roller is suitable for the media you are using; set a media that is appropriate for the hold-down force.
Why does Graphtec Plotter media jump out?
If the media jumps out to the forward side on your Graphtec Plotter, the wrong type of media might be selected. Check whether the media type is correctly set to "SHEET", "ROLL-1 FRONT EDGE", or "ROLL-2 CURRENT POSITION".
