Using Graphtec software only,  Command is COMMAND>GP-GL   Any other brands of software like Flexi VINYL MASTER, ETC is COMMAND>HP-GL.

They are two different command code languages. One was developed by HP and is used by just about every machine. The other was developed by Graphtec and is only used by Graphtec. What exactly the difference is, can't say. You'd have to dig into the actual code to understand that. My guess is the GP-GL has some custom commands in it specifically for specific machines. So long as the software is set to generate the code that the plotter is set to receive either work just fine.
