Dr Smith 4 Posted April 2, 2010 Got a new CE5000 today..Ya . But... I can't get flexistarter to cut anything but a string of tiny little numbers and letters that don't mean anything. Also when it starts cutting the string of nothing I can only stop it by turning the machine off . I went through the production manager and set up the port to Graphtec usb. Everything seems to be in order. Any ideas? It cuts fine from Robo Master pro but I would rather use Flexi for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted April 2, 2010 Go into the menu on that cutter and change the language setting from gpl to hgpl. That's what is causing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Smith 4 Posted April 2, 2010 I can't find that option. Is it in the production manager? I know I ran across it last night but for the life of me I can't find it again . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 2, 2010 it is on your cutter.. look in your Graphtec user manual. You can download it from Graphtec, and also should be on your Graphtec disc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Smith 4 Posted April 2, 2010 Sweet..Thanks all. I've now joined the graphtec lover crowd. This thing is sooo much nicer than my Pcut. I wish I would have skipped the frustration right form the start. Again thanks for the help and I'm sure I will have more questions for you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
