  1. GS15 error code problem :-/

    Getting a code #4: illegal plot data command -Check plot data; resubmit I have tried shutting the PC down, removing the cables; power cord, still beeeeeeps continuously when powered up. This HAS been happening intermittently the past few months, and I could always resolve it by restarting...
  2. Lettering an 18yr old box van (chalky fiberglass)

    I just got a 1994 Ford box van with a Supreme box on it, and I will definitely have some adhesion problems if I use the "usual" prep methods. I tried wiping it with Xylene, and it helped...but the Gerber 220 still isn't sticking enough, IMO. I can remove the piece of vinyl and the chalky residue...
  3. Have to make Chinese lettering for a sign- HELP!

    My Dad's church is adding a Chinese congregation, and this n00b has no idea how to go about it. I've attached a pic of the lettering needed. I see there are "truetype" (free) fonts available that I can convert in my Gerber Omega, but which ONE would be best? Is this "traditional" Chinese, or...
  4. Edge printing Silver Medal question.

    Does anyone know why this is happening? I am printing black on Controltac 250 series and then Gerber silver medal on that. Why does it automatically leave the area where the silver is assigned to print "open"? It's as if there was a clear fill assigned to those areas, but there is not. Also-...
  5. PLEASE HELP! GS15 just stopped working!! :(

    I've been using this plotter since 1994 and never a single problem!

    I removed the cable from my EdgeII and used it on my Edge Classic to test it....now I am getting an error when trying to use my EdgeII again. Cable's connected to the same LPT1 port as always! Anyone know what I need to do to resolve this? :thankyou: ----- edit: I was able to find one link...
  7. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    I have a used Edge "Classic"(?) here that I wish to sell soon. I am having trouble with it communicating with my Omega software. I am using the same data cable that I use for my EdgeII- is this a problem? Does the Edge require a different cable than the EdgeII? I do have the device "installed"...
  8. n00b Envision 375 and EdgeII setup questions

    I have a used Envision 375 that I am trying to setup up with my Omega 2.5. Quick question (and probably a DUMB one): I am trying to use the plotter with a Gerber cable that I had purchased from Hyatts for my GS15 (see attached). The Envision users manual mentions a "25 pin" serial interface...
  9. Weird problem with GA 6.2! Please help.

    First, I wanted to thank Fred (and any others?) for having such a great forum for us! I have been around a few years on signweb, 4edgetalk, etc, but do more reading than posting usually. This is by far the best forum I've seen for the sign industry, however. Anyway- I am a Home Improvement...
