Man, come on now. Give people a time to react! People do want to help, but you need to be patient to "RECEIVE" the help. Ask and you shall receive, but that means patience and cooperation as well. Not just GIMME GIMME GIMME.

I 've been using a PNC-1000 for 12 years now with Corel 5 & 10 along with Flexicut.
What EXACTLY is it you are trying to do? One of those images is just saying your layout is going off the edge of the paper. The other is just a text box like Techman said. SHOW US WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO CUT!
Are you trying to cut directly from Corel or what?
Try exporting your artwork and then open it up in the cutting program.
Sorry for wasting your time again.

Is it a new in box program? 2nd user? Double check the system requirements!!

Jim,
please fix your spelling in future enquiries, and be really clear in what you have done, and how, and what you would like. Some capital letters, and the word 'one' rather than 1 when you mean 'anyone' would be a great help. Otherwise, my impression is you're just being arrogant and sloppy- not the kind of person I'd feel inclined to help. Signwriters should take pride in clarity & good communication. If you're not a signwriter, then maybe that explains it...
Please also fix your attitude.
I have just read this thread, and would possibly be able to help, but I am inclined to skip the whole thing when I read how you are complaining.
However,
the PNC1000s when they work, are fine, and when they don't work, are a pain.
Frequently the problem is neither hardware nor software, but meatware- that's what is between the chair and the keyboard. In otherwords, the problem is that somebody has not got something set up right.
I haven't got a clue what you may have set up wrongly, but there are plenty of places to go off on the wrong course in the whole process.
When was your plotter last used? What operating system was used then? What cutting program was used then? Can't you ask the person you bought it from to help you?
I've worked two PNC1000s from corel, version 7,9, 10 & X3, with Win98 & XP. Also I've used Signtools version 2. All are fine programs. They do work. I'd like to get Signtools 3 one day- it's a great help for a beginner- but it should have come with an instruction book. You also have to register and get an unlock code from the makers.
The settings needed to get the plotter to work with Win98 and those to work from XP are different, and are adjusted on the console- they relate to rotate x & y. You need Mode 2 set. HPGL language option. Use a standard parallel printer cable.
You also need to add a hairline outline to text.
Signtools should have its own printer/plotter driver, but you will need the correct driver for your operating system, and for the machine. Our PNC1000 would not work with the driver for 1000, but needed the driver for 1000A.
You also have to plot via the File>Print Preview avenue, so you can position the file on the media where it will waste the least material, then send to printer from there when it's OK.
The learning curve and all the options cannot be climbed by demanding answers from here- you will have to get over them yourself, and figure out a lot, yourself.
Failing that, you could employ a signwriter who has learned this wonderful profession to do the work properly and on time for you, whthout complaining about him charging for his valuable time and experience.
Have you ever heard of the words 'please' & 'thank you' ? They'll help you a lot in the future...but this is the end of my help in this thread.
