GX-24 disconnects from Flexi after every roll change

It could actually still be on the computer end, even though that sound is being created.

Do you have a traditional graphics program (Ai, DRAW, Inkscape etc) that you could try to if you can cut directly out of after a roll change?

Any time that there is a sudden change in behavior and a recent Windows update (Win 10 has been far, far worse about this problem then previous versions of Windows) is in the process of being rolled out (providing your Win 10 is on the WAN), that's typically what I think of first. More often then not, in my experience that has been the case. Doesn't mean that it is in this case, but that's typically the first thing that I look as, is updates. It could very well be something on the machine end, and the port on the machine getting hinky on you, but I would start with updates first and go from there.

 

From Ai, DRAW, and/or Inkscape, use the cutter as a "printer". In other words, File>Print and then select the cutter (since you are running Windows, have to have the GX-24 cutter driver installed (on Linux, don't have to)).

Or, if you are willing to build from source for Windows (same thing with the Windows version, only has a Linux pre-built binary), you can use the extension InkCut and that will extend the functionality.

 

I wonder what win 10 changed in the last update ? My gerber oddessy and envision started doing the same thing . Changed cables , reinstalled drivers ...... no help , removed last win 10 update and all is ok now . Still don’t know what they did but my computer guy is investigating.

 

Brace yourself another win 10 update is coming May -

 

I was pretty sure that a major update was floating around in deployment, why I mentioned it originally. Although, it could be possible that it was deployed to him before yours would come in the rotation.

Check to see what your build is and compare that to what the latest big build should be (although technically even just the regular patch updates could cause some issues, they typically don't (but not impossible). Gotta love dealing with Windows computers.

 

I would have stuck with 8.1 before upgrading to Win 10 (regardless of this issue), but that's just me. Would have still be good til 2023.

Do you have the same issue using another cutting software?
