TINTDESIGNZ Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 It sounds like a software problem-but who knows! You shoulda bought mine-it works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[*]354086 Most plotters will use a com port. Check with the manufacturer to find the proper settings. Most of them are: 9600 8 none 1 Hardware handshake. Your plotter software should have a place to make the proper com port choice as well as change the settings. Dig around and see if you can find it. Does the plotter itself have a built in test pattern? If so, run it to be sure its a communication issue rather then a hardware issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kool kustumz Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 sounds like software. in your cutting pgm is a set up guide where you generally have to pick the plotter, hpgl or like settings, port, etc.have you discussed this with who you bought the machine from [*]354208 yes, we discussed it back and forth thru email, his directions were very detailed and understandable, but the only problem is is it says it cant not open the port when I send it to the production manager or w/e. and the test pattern does work, we already got that working. should I just send it back and get my money back or what you guys think? or do you know what the problem would be? thanx again!

tigerstripe Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 not sure but some programs wont share ports, I was using corel 9 and computer cut/ tint tek and I had to switch ports when I was cuting from one program to another? since switching to flexi 7 I have had no problems between flexi and tint-tek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINTDESIGNZ Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 If the test cut works-its probably not the plotter-what sign program you trying to use?Its probably something simple-probably something thats been suggested already!

Guest zolar Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 sounds like the plotter works just a software conflict with the com ports or a cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tint_detective Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I've run into the same problem. I just started monkeyin around with port settings and after a while, Presto! it started working. It sounds like a software or user error to me.

Guest lonewolf1969 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I recently bought a used plotter from someone on the forum, a creation ct630. we couldnt get it set up and it wouldnt send the info to the plotter for it to cut the patterns out. think I got ripped off or what? [*]354063 I am the one who sold the Creation CT630 cutter... He is now wanting me to give him his money back because he can't get it set up. He thinks he got screwed on the deal, but before I shipped it out to him I checked everything out...from the software to the cutter, everything ran fine. The reason I believe it is a user error on his part is that I included a SWapmeet disc in the package that was in a zip folder and he didn't know how to open that. What would you guys do in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
