Hi there, Does anyone know how to change the language setting on a Refine MH721? After seeking mush advice on why my cutter works with Artcut and not Flexi or Corel (even with the PNC1000 drivers), I contacted Flexi direct and they told me to change the language setting? Any ideas?

I've tried the Roland PNC driver and it still doesn't fix the problem. I contacted Flexi, they figure it's a problem with the language setting on the cutter, but that doesn't make sense if it cuts fine with Artcut, but not Flexi? Weird! I've had my cutter for months and have jobs waiting, now I think I waisted my money because I've tried everything and had heaps of help, but no results. It's just a dust collector now!

Tried the Null modem cable too, nothing. The cutter still works perfect with Artcut software. I'm now going to approach Flexi for support, it must be a software or setting issue. Thanks for all the advice!

I have a new Refine MH721 which works perfect with Artcut software, but I am familiar with Flexisign and want to use it. When I send from Flexi sign, my machine just cuts weird triangular gibberish. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks and have run out of ideas. I'm currently using Roland PNC1000 driver on LPT1, I have tried several other drivers combined with all other cables and ports. No luck. Can anyone help, I am desperate as I have jobs waiting. I have never had problems like this on previous cutters. Any info would be much appreciated. Does anyone actually have a Refine MH721 running off of Flexisign? Is it even possible?

Does anyone know why my Refine MH721 works perfect in Artcut but only cuts triangular gibberish through Flexisign? I have tried USB, Serial and LPT ports. Also tried Roland PNC1000 and Graphtec CE1000-60 drivers. Same problem happens when cutting straight from Corel X3. Even Test cuts through Flexi's production manager come out as Gibberish. Any ideas, I've tried everything I can think of.

Since my last post I've had someone over to try to figure this out for me and he's now got it receiving data through the Serial cable, but it's just gibberish (zig zag lines, makes no sense, random deep cuts,the same pattern everytime). Same thing with the test print with Flexi. This is what happens through LPT, USB and serial ports. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? It's as if it's getting the info, but just doesn't know what to do with it. Need Help please. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

Okay, I've completely reinstalled everything. I now have it connected with the 9 pin serial cable and am using PNC1000 driver. Everything matches fine in Printer Setup properties and Flexi's Production manager. When sending through COM1 and COM2, Production manager Status says "cannot open" and cutter does nothing. When sending through COM3, nothing happens and Status remains blank. When sending through COM4, Status say "Sending... 100%" but cutter does nothing. Test cut from Production manager does nothing on all 4 ports. I'm starting to think I have a dodgy serial cable? I'm getting a new one to try tonight, fingers crossed! Incase the new cable doesn't resolve the problems, do you have any other ideas? Your advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

No, even the test cut comes out as zig zag random lines. I'll try setting up with the 9 pin serial port and PNC 1000 again. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks.

Hi there, I've recently purchased a Refine MH721. It works great through Artcut, but just cuts gibberish when I send through Flexisign 8.1, any ideas? I really don't like Artcut and would like to use Flexi because I am familiar with the program. I have tried USB, Serial, and LPT ports. I have also tried Roland PNC 1000, CT-630, and Graphtec Drivers. Nothing seems to help. What am I doing wrong?
