Thanks for all those replies- i appreciate it. I can just use a newer version x5 in preference - on W10, and keep the others on the other machines. I was just interested in why the issues might have occurred. Thanks.

Quick question please: I read recently that X3 will NOT work under win 10. I'm wondeirng why? Before I sound cheap, old habits die hard and I'm happy using X3 on a few legacy XP or Win 7 machines that drive the plotter, router and lasers. I also have x5 and 2019, and in order prefer the two...

Nope. I use a 30- ft serial lead to run our CNC router with no problems. But the 64 bit win 7 PC could not see the plotter, via the LPT lead. We put XP on it in a VM and it was no different. I honestly wrestled with it for 2 days before giving up- and the techs too, and we just used a 32 bit...

For what it's worth... I have two PNC1000s here, of similar era to the PC60/600, and a PNC 1410. (amd a mimaki CG130FX2) The old Rolands happily work on a Win XP 32 bit machine. I use the old parallel/centronics printer leads. But no amount of VM setting up on a 64 bit machine worked whatsoever...

With our L260, many standard media (in Onyx) have fixed profiles with either only 10 or only 12 pass. Some media have many more, but several have only one option listed. I found once I send a file to the RIP centre, and it has finished ripping, then I can right click it and edit printer...

Try the tab button or the caps lock key.

Plenty of fonts look like hand-painted letters- and some are appalling on both counts! Fred's suggestions are great.

ask portrait or landscape - this saves confusion... but I can never figure the USA convention of specifying timber or other things by the smallest dimension first. We'd talk of a beam being 8x4 (inches) or 200x100 (mm), or a sheet being 10x5 ft. Convention here is the bigger number comes first-...

what make and models, may I ask?

Well done! I figured it looked like somethng was doing the scraping...!

I would open the head cleaning cartridge door, and slide the cartridge out, and look from underneath. Or use compressed air when the head carriage is moved toward the bed a bit. There are a few things you could try

That looks like the result of a bit of fluff under the head carriage, dragging across.

A simple fix ...when you know! Thanks for following it up with the solution!

As far as our L260 goes, and before thet the L25500, I've had them turned off for 4 weeks or more at a time - and rebooted with no problems at all. I always turn the L260 off at the wall after a day's printing. I learned years ago when a spike fried our PC, and via the serial lead, blew a board...

As above... "...500 5x12plotter cut and transfer rite decals 250 2x5...", is that 5 x 12 feet, inches, centimetre, cubits, or what? If you don't learn to specify units of measurement, then expect to get badly burned every time. 'Decals' - please define: do you mean a rectangular vinyl...

With a business name of signlords- and you don't know the answer? They should have been supplied with standoffs, but since they were not, find out why-maybe they were accidentally despatched without them- so ask, or just get or make your own standoffs, fix them, mark the template, and drill or...

If cutting from Corel Draw directly, the stuff to cut must be in the bed area. And must be outlined with a hairline. Any thickness and it fails. Hairline alone. Mode =2. Centronics Lpt lead, not parallel/serial. There is a default test sequence- I've forgotten it, but you may access it by...

I'd say it's just cyan, or dark blue that seems to scratch easily...

Interesting... I could say the same about scratching!

Maybe try & configure PDFs to go through Jaws, to rip ?
