  1. GS15 error code problem :-/

    Anyone wanna' buy (3) "used" motherboards?? :ROFLMAO: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151059018383578&l=4d6fd5d128
  2. GS15 error code problem :-/

    Sorry to RANT about this, but how can a repair company give you an estimate on the phone for "$950-$1400" to repair a plotter without even seeing it?? So what if it's some $50 part on the mainboard that fried and needed to be replaced...and it's a "2hr job" (for the sake of argument)...you're...
  3. GS15 error code problem :-/

    I saw them...thanks. :)
  4. GS15 error code problem :-/

    Have never used him, but I did send out a GS15 motherboard to him 2yrs ago for a repair estimate. His estimate was $950, so I told him "thanks anyway" and had him send the board back. Then I bought a good-working used GS15 on ebay for less than that... Is he the ONLY place in the US that fixes...
  5. GS15 error code problem :-/

    Yes, spooler function. The plotter is beeeepig on start up even if I do not have Omega opened, let alone when trying to plot. It beeps even if I start it up and the computer is shut down completely. :(
  6. 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...
  7. Lettering an 18yr old box van (chalky fiberglass)

    No I haven't, Larry...just with Xylene so far. I will try that tomorrow first though...sounds easier than buffing! :banghead:
  8. Lettering an 18yr old box van (chalky fiberglass)

    Yeah, that's what I'm coming up with now as well. I will try an area tomorrow on it and see how well the vinyl sticks. I just told him it would be $200-$300 to compound and prep it all and he said "ok"...
  9. Lettering an 18yr old box van (chalky fiberglass)

    The solutions I am finding include waxing it, unfortunately. I don't really think vinyl will stick to WAX very well, either...correct? http://www.ehow.com/how_4472267_remove-fiberglass-oxidation.html
  10. 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...
  11. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    Thanks Craig. I'm actually no longer selling the Edge Classic (sorry, can't edit my top post). I actually saw the same machine on eBay last week for $1800. I don't think it sold though (didn't think it would for that price, either). I just ordered the usb/parallel Edge cable this morning...
  12. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    Thanks for the help so far...I do have to run out for about an hour. I appreciate it! PS: best place to buy a 15ft USB to parallel cable? Hyatts or something? PS PS: actually, didnt Gerber state somewhere that they had good luck using certain "off the shelf" cables? Any help getting a source...
  13. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    2.61 Yes. Please see attached pics. USB. I actually do have ONE usb port that miraculously still works. I did have security errors with the other usb ports as i swapped it to other ports which slowly died off. I can also swap the dongle from the desktop to the laptop and use the...
  14. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    Fred- i will answer those questions in a min. Here is what i got in sentinel config.
  15. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    I didn't think the edge 1 required an ECP port? Anyway- i definitely didn't change any settings...thanks
  16. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    Thanks Fred- Yeah, just today i read about the cable length recommendations being 15ft max, which is the length of mine (kinda HAS to be with my current setup). But if that is the problem, I will certainly change my setup! Anyway- i don't believe there are any other plt jobs in the que. I...
  17. Edge Classic questions- testing, data errors, etc

    BUMP! Ok- I now use the ol' Edge Classic, and it's been working fine for months! I took the cable off the other day for a few days- plug it back in today and i now get a "data error" code when trying to print to the edge with Omega. :( Do these cables "go bad"?? Should i just purchase another...
  18. 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...
