Networking Graphtec CE-5000

[GP]

Anyone have any success?

We are using Cutting Master 2 to cut direct from AI.

Set up via USB on Workstation 1 and working perfectly.

Can select Graphtec on Workstation 2 in printer control panel.

Loaded software but when we que job, we get the message "cannot open port."

Any suggestions?

I would recommend getting a USB to Ethernet adapter...

Probably grab one online for less than $20

and plug the graphtec into the router, instead of workstation 1?

Yes. Then both PC's would access it via the IP address.

It essentially becomes a network printer at that point.

New FC's from Graphtec have an optional Print Server that can be installed for this reason.
