Okay i have a Question does anyone have the problem with there SC plotter wanting to Advance like a foot or sometimes more then that ? When i click Cut using flexistarter10 it says sending but does nothing .... so i have to walk over and click ENTER button on the plotter then it wants to advance a foot or so then start cutting i click reset do the same process over again so then i shut the plotter off restart it resend the file again .. and it works ... I am using Serial Cable ..And what is so weird is sometimes i can click Cut ... and it will do it right where i want it to 99% of the time it wants to Advance a foot or more before cutting ... i have all the drivers installed right .. I just want to know if anyone has this same issue with this plotter ?? and have fixed it or maybe i am just doing something wrong in the settings in the Cut area... i mean after like a bunch of Resets and on and offs it will cut right on the start of the media and not advance .... much help or info would be wonderful ....

Hello,

I use the sc and mine advances also, I dont use flexi, but mine advances and starts on the inner part of the cut and works it way out, so basically mine ends where i actually set my blade to start. Also, i have to push enter om my plotter after i push cut on my software everytime.

There should be a setting in the plotter software that tells the plotter to advance. It should not be a plotter problem. What software are you using?

Also, make sure your SC cutter shows I think it says "local" when you start a cut. If the plotter shows "origin" then you need to goto the startup screen before starting a cut.

I can check to see what the plotter screen should show when I get home

Yes make sure the cutter is on "local" before pressing cut in Flexi. I do not know Flexi. I have only used Signblazer and it seems to work just fine except when I send a cut job to the cutter when it's in "origin".

Thanks bro :) i will just turn it on set it up like normal the vinyl then what i think i do with just shut it off again turn it back on so its on Local then click cut .. cause most the time i set it up with origin on then start from there so this time i will always reset it and try that after i got the media where i want it ... so the cutter is back in default settings again .. thanks man for your help bro :D

Instead of turning it off from the "origin" setting you can change the menu back to "local" then cut from your software. Play around with the cutter menu a little bit. It's not a very deep menu so you should be able to figure out which buttons to press pretty quickly to get it to local. Maybe tomorrow I will write down the menu on a piece of paper.

@Kaywals, I don't mean to hijack, but noticed you have Flexidesignerpro10, is that a good design software?

I was looking for a good design software without, a real high price.. Is that as high as FlexisignPro10?

I have never seen it before.

Is there a vendor that you purchased it from that has it on sale?

Can I ask what you paid for it? thx LL
