I think my PNC-1000 is printing coords

if your trying to cut from COREL..........assign any object A HAIRLINE...........so the plotter can cut it.

OP KNows his OLd rolands I'm running A PNC 960 & cut straight from corel & have from when I first got my cutter. I did spend time with OP on the phone. hairline can be the key & as far as Autocad. Acad looks at the plotter just like any other as the cutter is an HPGL printer in language. you could actually just feed it HPGL if you can write it, but most people can't!, Autocad will run it easily if lineweight & language is correct. It will use most any plotter in Acad.

We use an old pnc-950 daily with Flexi and windows xp.
Your problem is probably with the parallel port LPT. Get a USB to LPT cable then in your production manager in flexi assign the pnc-1000 to the usb printer port. I have never tried to use it with autocad or corel.

Hope this helps

USB Cable

I have been using PNC-1000 on an XP64 machine with a USB cable bought from TigerDirect.com (I believe it's cables direct brand) and Flexi 7. Just select USB port from Production Manager and it'll work.
