mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 I have a Graphtec ce-5000-40, I reset to factory defaults, but the speed keeps changing to 50 in HP mode, in GP mode it works fine. I can not find any info in the manual. Thanks Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 changing speed while running/cutting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 sorry, yes as soon as I send the job to the cutter, it only does it while I'm using flexi, normal when changing command to GP for Corel thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 what version of Flexi? on what operating computer system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 8.6, windows 7, I reset it to factory defaults because all my conditions were all screwed up. I don't remember changing any settings so I reset it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 are you using the Graphtec Cutting controller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 as far as I know, can you clarify? nothing has changed except for me changing defaults, I have changed them before with no issues. I don't think it can be anything serious as it does not change in the GP command. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 Graphtec Cutting Controller is ran from you computer, makes your life so much easier, all SPEED, FORCE, and Blade offset is done right from your computer, Download was on your Graphtec disc or from Graphtec America. It has a setting to run from your vinyl cutter or from your computer Graphtec Cutting Controller. I know it can be used for the Graphtec CE5000-60 So I would assume it can be used for the 40 also..

mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 then that is a no, all controlled from the cutter I just used it this morning and it was not cutting well, then I noticed that the settings were all screwed up so that is when I reset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 why was it not cutting well? Had to be something change that. My cutter does not just not cut well.. And I have been running it since 2008... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 blade issues, that's when noticed my setting were not right i probably changed them but did not notice til today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 I would download the Cutting controller, and run from the computer settings......It works great. At least then you can see if you have control over the speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 what speed are you setting your vinyl cutter to when cutting? Are you hitting enter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 i'll try it Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 usually 10-15 yes hitting enter, this is the first time this unit has given any trouble in 5-6 years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 4, 2013 if it is a new version of flexi (or lxi) it has a area like cut controler that changes it for the job so it could be changing it on you. on mine it is the third tab of production manager under driver options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 Dakota.... do you use your Graphtec Cutting Controller on your computer? I love it. Makes it so easy.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 4, 2013 sometimes but not always - I had just found the equivilent on ve-lxi- master plus 10.5 - really cutmaster I think is the same thing made by the same people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2013 speed and force are ok, but the condition changes to 9 with the controller should the status light keep blinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 I never change my settings from my cutter,.....I just load media, prefeed. and run everything else from my computer... I only cut vinyl, so usually the only thing I change is speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 I use 9..... that is all I use. I don't preset other conditions. I don't need them. Too ez to change settings on the cutting controller. But I see you can import conditions.. Don't know what that means Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 4, 2013 I don't know what your status light means. I run a FC7000... It does not have a status light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfatty500 454 Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks Dakota that was it the problem was in Flexi, not the cutter. I swear on my parents graves I have never been in that window of production manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
