Jamz

Cheers guys... i just tried turning off weed boarder and it didnt crash this time.... so am i right in thinking i need to upgrade the memory on the unit then Is there no sort of buffer that can store it on the computer first then send to the plotter once the plotter buffer has been freed up? Its going to be kinda hard to get the memory chip as im in England, so no USPlotter here Will the serial connection help with this problem or is it going to be a case of the memory is too small for both cases

What did you do to stop it from jamming as mine seems to do this time to time?

the plotter is fine doing small things (little stickers and the likes) But now I am moving onto bigger things now, and sometimes it is alright, and other times the plotter will just like crash near the end of its plotting (like last night, i was plotting something 1000mm x 500mm and it crashed when it was doing a weed boarder) When it crashes, its as if the rollers get stuck (although i can move then by hand) Now im not sure if its the settings, upon searching this forum, i see people have changed the flow to Hardware or the Xon XOff, I too have tried these settings, but the plotter does not respond with the above, and only responds with the Flow control set to None. I also tried changing the from 9600 to 4200 but changing to 4200 makes the plotter jumpy upon plotting I am using USB (I cannot get it to work through serial - not sure if its the cable as i got an RS232 cable and have seen that i need a null modem cable maybe) I also have the problem of the computer breaking the plotters, as I have to uninstall the USB driver, and then re install it to get the plotter to work sometimes. Anyone else have this trouble? Any solutions?
