Why is cutting or plotting being performed on the grit roller footprints on my GRAPHTEC FC7000 Plotter?
If cutting or plotting is being performed on the grit roller footprints on your Graphtec Plotter, the EXPAND setting may be enabled. Set EXPAND to zero if necessary.
How to fix a GRAPHTEC FC7000 when the power lamp doesn't light?
If the power lamp on your Graphtec Plotter's control panel isn't lighting up and the LCD is blank, first ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the plotter's AC line inlet and the electrical outlet. If the issue persists, it may indicate a defect with the plotter.
What to do if Graphtec Plotter shows 'LOAD PAPER!!' message when media is loaded?
If your Graphtec Plotter displays the 'LOAD PAPER!!' message even after loading media, it could be due to several reasons. If you're using nearly transparent media, the sensors might not detect it; in this case, disable the media sensors and manually set the cutting area. Strong reflected light may also interfere with the sensors; try repositioning the light source or shielding the media from direct sunlight.
Why is there a slight distance error in my GRAPHTEC FC7000 cutting results?
If your Graphtec Plotter's cutting results show a slight distance error compared to the program, the media might be slipping. Try lowering the cutting speed or the pen-up speed and perform a feed operation. Also, the distance correction might need adjustment.
Why does media fall out of my GRAPHTEC FC7000 during initialization?
If media falls out of your Graphtec Plotter during initialization, strong light may be hitting the sensors. If strong light is hitting the sensors, block the light. If there is a fluorescent lamp or similar lighting device near the plotter, move it away.
Why are characters or lines deformed during pen plotting on my Graphtec Plotter?
If characters or lines are deformed during pen plotting on your Graphtec Plotter, the plotter is in cutting mode. Set the blade type on the CUTTER OFFSET function to PEN (0).
Why are curved lines appearing with coarse resolution on my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If curved lines appear with coarse resolution on your Graphtec Plotter, the software's resolution setting may be too low, so adjust the software's resolution setting. Alternatively, the blade offset angle might be too low, so raise the blade offset angle.
Why does the PROMPT lamp light and an off-scale error occur when my Graphtec Plotter is receiving data, and some parts of the media cannot be cut?
If the PROMPT lamp lights and an off-scale error occurs when your Graphtec Plotter is receiving data, and some parts of the media cannot be cut, the programmable resolution (STEP SIZE) might have been set differently at the plotter and the software application. Set both the plotter and the software to the same resolution. The computer might have sent coordinate data that exceeds the specified effective cutting area, so set the effective cutting area to a larger area. The computer might have sent coordinate data that exceeds the maximum effective cutting area, so switch to a larger media or change the coordinate data.
What causes one side of the media to come loose from the pinch roller on a Graphtec Plotter?
If one side of the media comes loose from the pinch roller on your Graphtec Plotter, the front or rear edge of the media may not be cut straight. Cut the media edge straight.
Why is the media feeding at an angle on my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If the media is feeding at an angle on your Graphtec Plotter, it might have been loaded incorrectly, so reload the media correctly. Alternatively, the media could be slipping, so pull out the required amount of media in advance.
