Okay for the life of me I can not figure out how to get my default "Preset" in production manager back. My last preference manager I loaded must have not had this part saved so now its preset defaults to a setting I don't use. I can still get to it by pulling down on the menu and selecting it...
2 different computers (one XP with subscription and the other is Windows 8 with bought outright software) and both crash consistently. If I can go 2 days without the software crashing I consider it a victory! On my windows 8 computer I normally know when it's about to happen as if I go to open...
Update: As I suspected it did end up being a software issue. Though it wasn't a software update problem/glitch as I thought. It seems that some erratic setting was being put to the default production manager setting anytime I opened this one particular file. So if I printed anything after...
Glad to say I have finally "fixed" the problem. Whatever was stored in the one file that was giving me issues was the entire problem the whole time. So it doesn't appear to be an update issue after all. I know if you save a job after you print/lam/cut it will save those settings in the file...
Thanks for all the input. While I still haven't found what the fix is, I (think) have found out what is causing the problem. This one file I am trying to print/laminate/cut is the main problem. Once I try to print/lam/cut that file ALL other files after that become "corrupt" with the same...
Okay, I'll try cleaning the eye. Already cleaned the encoder strip with no help. But for you guys that cleaning the eye fixed it, it was still reading the crop marks properly with it dirty? Was the voltage for eye correct when reading them? Mine seems to be working fine (reads right a 2.5v)...
Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke or a problem with the machine, I went ahead and reprinted the job #1 in my PM queue (since I have in hold mode). Machine found the crop marks and cut properly as it did before. So it seems something happened to a setting in that 40 minutes between job #1 and...
Believe me I have been trying over and over to get the problem fixed. Spent about 12 hours on Sunday printing/testing everything I could think of to try and get this to work since I have orders that needed to go out. But I'll answer the questions you asked which will probably explain why I'm...
Thanks for the suggestions Markus.
I have tried other files with the same results. The only file that worked properly was the very first file that was in my production manager queue. All others (about 20 test prints using various files and or just simple boxes drawn up) after that one have...
Not sure what's going on. I think this may be a problem with Flexi since I have been having all kinds of issues with the software/and my hardware since upgrading to Cloud. And this problem just started happening after a recent update. But want to make sure I'm not overlooking something wrong...
I appreciate the input.
I suppose it could be the machine but seems quite odd it started doing this after the last update. Normally if it is the machine not reading crop marks correctly I will get an error. I noticed that on the last update of Flexi some default changes were made in...
I am going nuts!!!! It seems everyday I am throwing profits out the door in wasted material while spending hours trying to figure out how to get things to work right. Never had issues for the last 10+ years until using Cloud. I had major issues on one computer/machine after upgrading to Cloud...
Never seen this before. Replaced the black cartridge a few hours ago and finished that job. Shut the machine off. Just turned it on and it showed that all the cartridges were empty. Tried to shut off to restart...it eventually did shut off but took way longer than normal to shut down. That...
Well the GX-24 is listed as one of the cutters in 8.1 so it has the driver for it and I think the SP-300V is a newer model than the GX so that really shouldn't be the issue. But for whatever reason upgrading to cloud fixed most of the issues other than I still can't poll size.
Update: I decided to upgrade that computer to Flexi Cloud and that fixed almost all my problems. My only issue now is I still can't poll size. At least it's cutting normal....
Well I've at least discovered why it was randomly cutting down the roll several feet sometimes. It seems the orientation is not right. I notice if I move the object over to the right of the preview panel it prints directly at left origin point. But if I move the object to the left of the...
Yes I am using Flexi 8.1 on this computer/machine (Cloud on my print/cut Roland). The LXi software is Flexi just rebranded for Signwarehouse. Haven't used it in years but it's what I started with which is why I moved to Flexi since I knew it.
As for the machine I don't think that's the issue...
Correct, I have been using Flexi (or Vinyl Express LXi) since day one. So I use it for about everything. I'll install CutStudio and see how that works and report back.
