Why is it hard to weed media after cutting on my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If media can be cut but it is hard to weed afterward on your Graphtec Plotter, the retack sheet may not be sticky enough, so switch to a stickier retack sheet. Media could be getting entangled during cutting, so reduce the blade length. Also, promptly weed cut media.
Why are the cutting conditions disregarded or unchangeable on my GRAPHTEC FC7000 Plotter?
If the currently selected cutting conditions are disregarded or cannot be changed on your Graphtec Plotter, the parameter priority setting may be set to program mode. Change the parameter from priority setting to manual mode. Also, verify setting the conditions.
Why have the pen settings changed on my GRAPHTEC FC7000 Plotter?
If the pen settings have changed on your Graphtec Plotter, the parameter priority setting may be set to program mode, so change the parameter from priority setting to manual mode. Also, verify setting the conditions correctly.
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.
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 do the cutting results differ from the specified size on my Graphtec Plotter?
If the cutting results differ from the specified size on your Graphtec Plotter, the programmable resolution (STEP SIZE) may have been set differently at the plotter and the software application. Set both the plotter and the software to the same resolution. Also, check whether scaling has been specified.
What to do if the Graphtec Plotter displays a 'POSITION ERROR'?
If a 'POSITION ERROR' appears during initialization, cutting, or plotting on your Graphtec Plotter, the media settings might be incorrect. Try lowering the speed, cutting force, or pen force. The pen carriage may have encountered an obstacle, or an external force may have been applied. Remove any obstacles, then power the plotter off and on. Cut scraps might be affecting operation; remove them and restart the plotter.
Why does the media float up at the front of my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If the media floats up at the front of your Graphtec Plotter, an incorrect media type might have been specified. Check that the media type specified is Sheet, Roll 1 Rear Set, or Roll 2 Rear Set.
Why was cutting performed with the ORIGIN point moved to the CENTER on my GRAPHTEC FC7000 Plotter?
Cutting might have been performed with the ORIGIN point moved to the CENTER because the origin point might be set at the center, although the plot data was created based on a center origin (only when the command setting is HP-GL). Set the application software's origin point to either the lower left point or the center.
Why does the blade fall out of the plunger on my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If the blade falls out of the plunger on your Graphtec Plotter, the blade might be too small for the holder or there may be insufficient grease. Use a blade that fits securely in the holder and grease the cutter blade and holder.
