This happened once before called graphtec or flexi and was easy fix. I have slept lots since then trying to get up by mon.

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
On your plotter bring up the background settings and then, I think, 'Condition Priority'. Set it to 'Program' to have the plotter listen to setup commands from the software or to 'Manual' where the plotter will ignore software set up commands and it's own control panel settings will prevail.
While your there in the background settings you might see if you're using HPGL or GPGL. The driver you're using will dictate which one. Flexi uses HPGL if memory serves.

Thanks all I believe I got it!
Just to clarify if anyone comes across this again, Flexi uses an HPGL command interface. So when it's set to GPGL mode, it kinda goes haywire and cuts that strip of characters up the side. It's a simple fix tho.
On an FC7000 series just lower down your lever and go into the initial menu, then hit interface, then command and it should take you to the screen to switch between modes. Should be similar on the other FC series cutters too, at least on the 5100s anyway but I can't remember for sure.
I know he's already fixed it, but can't hurt to have it here for anyone else reading.
