Hi! Few days ago I upgraded the firmware on my CE6000-60 machine. Firmware version 2.00 Since that upgrade, I have ruined almost every job I make. I must do it maby 3 times to have it cut ok. I get often these error messages E01006 HARDWARE ADDRESS LOAD ERROR 76013627 H (The last digits changes everytime) Never had this issue on the previous firmwares. Tried to contact graphtec, but they told me the material do not cover the sensor. So I must make sure to have covered this sensor. But my material do cover the sensor when cutting. I always make sure of it.. Is there anyway to downgrade this firmware to 1.80 or 1.90? It was more stable. regards C

Has anyone of you change the motherboard on a graphtec machine?

haha..no way!!!

Change motherboard and all good

The motherboard change went well.

Looks like the motherboard is used for the CE4000, CE6000 and CE12000 series... need to change some dip switches for the correct model

hehe I have an graphtec CE6000-60

Change board is easy, but does it need to re align and setup the cutter?

Have not tried that formware. Just v2.10 and same problem, so I downgraded back to v1.7. And Graphtec will not help me.

Well it has the same issue with random cuts

New update The Graphtech CE6000-60 cutter works perfect now with restarting after each cutjob. Soon the power is on all time, it do random cuts.. Any ideas?? regards

Just an update! Have not got new mainboard. But I have kinda solve the problem for now. I design in AI of Graphtec studio, and power on the cutter. Then I press "Send to cutter" It do cut without any problem. When fnished cutting, I power it down. And starts all over again for each cutting. But IF it has power on all time, it starts to do random cutting For now, I am happy...

Well, same problem there. do random cut lines in signcut I guess I need a new mainboard. emailed graphtec and I am so lucky that graphtec will only send out to U.S. Addresses. and I live in Norway. Anyone knows what a new motherboard for the CE6000-60 cost? If anyone can check, I would be gratefull PN U792600750 Thanks

No, I will try signcut...

Here is the example file http://www.lasertech.no/test.gstudio I using graphtec studio or even illustrator Picture of what do happends. second line is how it can cut the file.

I use mac, and there have been no problem using mac. I have also tried on a pc, same problem there. I can make a new file, enter a text (20x30cm) and when I cut, it make random cut lines..

well, a little update. I dont get any error messages, but I often get random cuttinglines over the work. Any ideas?

Does anyone has the servicemanual for the CE6000 machine ?

Yes, so far...

Good news!! I asked graphtec america for the firmware 1.70. Since this firmware is not on their website. So I got it emailed to me. Flashed the firmware without any problems. And did a reset of the machine. Loaded some work into graphtec studio and started cutting. Work without any errors. Did some testing and more testing. NO ERRORS AT ALL!! YEAH!! Finally I got it working again Hope it will work all time. Does your graphtec machine work?? Do nothing AND DONT DO ANY FIRMWARE UPGRADING!!!! Thanks

Thanks

Anyone who has firmware 1.7 ?

Well, after I have downgraded to Firmware 1.80 I get no more random errors like I did with the 2.00 firmware. BUT sometimes it cuts random lines al over the job and ruin the work Any ideas?

Hi! Download the firmware 2.00, 1.90 or 1.80 and and choose the firmware you want. NB : Dont press "print" yet On the cutter/plotter 1. Load the media ether of a roll or a sheet in the cutter/plotter. 2. Press the RIGHT ARROW key and the LEFT ARROW key simultaneously while the power of the cutter/plotter is turned on. The following message is displayed in the LCD --> " PLEASE SEND PRG. " Then press "PRINT" on the software and the software will send the firmware to the cutter. When it is finished, the LCD display "xxxKB COMPLETED " and it restarts. My cutter still has some issues after the downgrade. And maby I will get an mainboard replacement...

Finally, I have gone back to firmware 1.80 Now some testing..
