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 blade cutting into the backing sheet on my Graphtec Plotter?
If the blade is cutting into the backing sheet on your Graphtec Plotter, the blade might be extended too far, so adjust the blade length. Alternatively, the cutting force might be too high, so lower the force setting.
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.
Why are the cut corners too rounded or too sharp on my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If the cut corners are too rounded or too sharp on your Graphtec Plotter, the CUTTER OFFSET may be incompatible with the blade type. If the corners are rounded, adjust the CUTTER OFFSET value lower. If the corners are pointed, adjust the CUTTER OFFSET value higher.
Why is the blade skipping and not completely cutting solid lines on my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If the blade skips and doesn't fully cut solid lines on your Graphtec Plotter, the blade may be extended too far, so adjust the blade length. Alternatively, the cutting speed might be too high, so lower the speed setting.
How to fix a GRAPHTEC FC7000 that doesn't cut beyond a certain length?
If your Graphtec Plotter doesn't cut beyond a certain length, the PAGE LENGTH setting might not be correct. Check the cut area by pressing the ENTER key and set the PAGE LENGTH correctly.
Why does the media curl up at the corners and fine cut characters come off when using my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If the media curls at the corners and fine-cut characters come off when using your Graphtec Plotter, the blade might be extended too far, so adjust the blade length. The cutter offset may be incompatible with the blade type; adjust the cutter offset value. The cutting speed might be too high, so lower the speed setting. The blade could also be dull, so replace it. Finally, the quality setting may be too high, so lower the quality setting.
Why does media skew when it starts moving in my GRAPHTEC FC7000?
If the media skews as soon as it starts to move in your Graphtec Plotter, the pinch rollers may not be positioned correctly over the grit rollers. Check the position of the pinch rollers.
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.
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.
