What to do if GRAPHTEC FC8600-130 Plotter registration marks cannot be scanned?
If registration marks cannot be scanned properly on your Graphtec Plotter because of scan errors, and the cutting media is floating, press down the cutting media.
Why is media jumping out of my GRAPHTEC FC8600-130?
If the Graphtec Plotter media jumps out to the forward side, the wrong type of media may be selected. Check the media type setting: "SHEET", "ROLL-1 REAR SET", or "ROLL-2 REAR SET."
Why my GRAPHTEC Plotter fails to scan scratchy registration marks?
If registration marks cannot be scanned properly on your Graphtec Plotter because of scan errors, and the registration marks are scratchy, rewrite the registration mark lines more clearly.
Why is media curling on my GRAPHTEC FC8600-130?
If the Graphtec Plotter media curls up at the corners and fine cut characters peel off, and the blade is extended too far, adjust the blade length.
Why is my GRAPHTEC FC8600-130 Plotter cutting on the grit roller imprint?
If your Graphtec Plotter is cutting on the grit roller imprint, the cutting width is widened. Set the setting of the cutting width to 0.
How to fix registration marks scan error due to media color on GRAPHTEC FC8600-130 Plotter?
If registration marks cannot be scanned properly on your Graphtec Plotter because of scan errors, and the color of the cutting media is not black, adjust the cencor level. If this does not help, use black registration marks.
Why is my GRAPHTEC FC8600-130 Plotter blade skipping?
If the Graphtec Plotter blade skips and does not completely cut lines that should be solid, and straight cut lines seem to wobble, and the cutting speed is too high, lower the speed setting.
