xstar 0 Posted February 29, 2012 Can i use a usb extension even though the training video said not recommended? Do i need to install cutting master if im using flexi? Thanks guys. xstar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted February 29, 2012 Run straight from computer to vinyl cutter. If you need a longer USB cable, then purchase one. I think mine is 10 ft. I purchased a different one. If using Flexi you don't need Cutting Master installed. No reason to, if your not going to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xstar 0 Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks for the reply, Ran into a few problems, My cutter only works when i select the ce3000-60 and i get an error when i choose my actual model ce5000-60?

Thanks for any help. xstar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted February 29, 2012 do you have the cutter set on HP-GL? It must be there, to use any software other than Cutting Master. Cutting Master is set on GP-GL Cutting Master is it's own separate software. You use Adobe illustrator or Corel with it. What version of Flexi are you using?

xstar 0 Posted March 1, 2012 Ya i know the manuals are good but allot of times people can explain better and clearer... Im now trying to dial in the X and Y cutting lenghts to come out exact to measure, I checked the manual but it doesnt say if X is the side to side or Y is? I cut a rectangle 40"x4" and it comes out 40.2"x3.9" i know its not a huge difference but on a larger job it would get worse... Thanks for your time guys. xstar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted March 1, 2012 In my Flexi, In Design Central, X is left to right Y is up to down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markvvq 14 Posted March 1, 2012 In my Flexi, In Design Central, X is left to right Y is up to down Just think of the positions of the bottom of the letters. Y the bottom points straight X the bottom points left and right. Thats how I remember, havent received my graphtec yet ( will be delivered tomorrow) but I follow any questions on it with keen interest. Certainly seems like Skeeter is the go to gal on any questions relating to it.Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
