I type out the word test in black to print, simple, send to printer it beeps once and shows me "online Data Error"
on the Gerber Edge LE screen?

I run into this problem when I hit the online button before it has a chance to completely send the info to the plotter. Put the machine online first then send the job. Just a thought

I will check settings, it lets me print on flexi demo with no problems, only happens with a demo of sign lab 10. i use a regular generic parallel to usb adapter to communicate with it, new cable tho

Gerber makes a certified USB-Parralel cable - P83301A

I had problems when I used a generic sometimes on flexi. no experience with signlab.

I have the original Gerber cables, but no ports on the laptop, did use a usb to com that worked for the cutter which I have used for some Chinese cutters i will try a USB to parellel with female end to connect the Gerber parellel cable , if no go then easy fix with the one you mentioned Jburns. , got an older computer but sign lab 10 is not meant for Vista, GSP software only for that one I understand .

JBurns, am I remembering correctly that to use the Gerber cable you need to be running Omega 2. something or higher?
