MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 1, 2010 are you sure your Flexi pro doesn't have saved jobs . Check there.. also in your production manager, make sure all jobs are empty there. Delete anything that is there. If you go into your default job properties on Workflow, do you have under AFTER Output.. Delete or HOLD, I have mine on DELETE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flanders118 0 Posted April 1, 2010 hi thanks for quick responce can you tell me how to get to what you are on about the part about setting it to hold or del as im new to it all please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 1, 2010 First of all you need to state what cutting Software you are using and what version.? Is it really Flexi Pro? Or Flexistarter? there is a big difference actually about $4000 difference. depending on where you purchase. and it would greatly help in the future if you post your equipment in your signiture, So we do not have to keep asking. LIke mine look in my signiture Graphtetec FC7000mk2-75 Flexistarter, 8.5 Toshiba XP etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flanders118 0 Posted April 1, 2010 ok sorry im new like i said i have done the things you said i think and it is pro and a pcut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 1, 2010 ok pro,, I don't have Pro, But I will try and help, the versions are all different on some layout, BUT open your main layout cut screen. just enter a couple text on it, just so you can HIT CUT/PLOT and it opens like your going to cut something. IN UPPER left corner should be your cutter name.. under it is PROPERTIES, click it, screen changes, it is either at the top or bottom, there are pictures on tabs, run your cursor over and see if one says WORKFLOW, click it, screen changes, then the info I described is there. the versions are different, this is Flexistarter 8.6, but I hope you have some same things close .

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 1, 2010 sorry, I cannot help you with your actual cutter, I do not have a US CUtter product,, but yes, you can adjust your offset, also You can just click open your production manager right from your desktop and make sure there are no jobs or errors on it, It should be blank , like this picture (the white area) Your welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRD 9 Posted April 2, 2010 OK flanders. Start with typing lines with points at the ends. (like this) Your typing make people not reading it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Follow the new bie manual, use signblazer elements trail ( it is free) and let us know at which step it does not work. This way we can trouble shoot your problem much easier. 19200 or higher baudrate is asking for trouble. Use 9600 only in both cutter program and windows port setting. You see how easy this reads!

CRD 9 Posted April 3, 2010 As you start to make new entries for same problem I type here once again. If you use parallel to serial converter and it has to run at 38400 bps then that info is new and your might be correct 9600 as mentioned in the new bie manual is not OK for you. Does your computer has a serial port? Please answer this question only with YES or NO. Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flanders118 0 Posted April 3, 2010 sorry like i said im new and i have made a mistake im using a serial cable only no converter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
