I was just hired at a print shop and was given the task of getting a Graphtec cs2000-60 to work. When I go to cut, I keep getting a message that says Cannot Open port. Can anyone help

What language is the cutter set for now? Some info from Graphtec:

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]A software driver or "driver" for short, is a software module that will allow your software application to speak the language the cutter will understand and follow. The Graphtec cutters and plotters speak two languages: HPGL (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) and GPGL (Graphtec Plotter Graphics Language). HPGL is a generic language that is commonly used. Since most sign software packages have a Graphtec driver built in, there is no need to use a Windows driver to output a design to the Graphtec cutter.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]A Windows driver is a driver that will allow programs to use the cutter as if it were a printer device. Graphic design packages such as CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator and others can send vector data to the windows driver to cut the design on the cutter. NOTE: If you are using a sign software package (Gerber, Advantage, FlexiSIGN, SignLab, Onyx, Wasatch, etc.) it is better to use their built-in drivers.

You should have the cutter set to HPGL language for flexi to cut.

Hello from the lower part of Florida. I am assuming that you are running it on usb? in flexi 8 we would have problems on the usb it seemed to be just in flexi 8 and not anymore in 8.6. at anyrate all we would end up doing is rebooting the flexi program and go forward. you might also check in you production manger that all of the setting on the graphtec are correct.
