"now processing" message during cutting

[okeesignguy]

I have a SP-540V and sometimes while cutting it will stop and show a "now processing" message during cutting...
Sometimes it will start back up and sometimes it will not, causing me to have to restart the cutting procedure all over again...
Can anybody tell me what is going on please...?
Thanx for any help given!

I dealt with this problem for over a year, it was the most frustrating thing in the world. Having tried new cables, file types, etc ... i FINALLY found a solution that has never failed.

I would be willing to bet that the CAT5 jack in your PC is built in to the motherboard ?

Install an additional network card ($9-$12 at best buy) and set the printed up on that port and you will never have the issue again.

we also had this problem on 1 of our work stations. Turns out that windows firewall was on and was pissing off the data throughput. The other posts are correct too, it could be any number of things, check your entire network but dont overlook the network settings on the machine itself.

I had this problem once and fixed it first try....You need to go into your RIP computer's power settings and make sure the hard drive NEVER turns off....our computer went to sleep and stopped sending info to the printer. Ruined one print, figured it out and never dealt with it again

This is exactly one of the issues I'm dealing with today.

I'm getting it on long prints. Something is powering down or timing out, but nothing has been changed on the network.

Is the problem resolved?

I too had a problem like this, I had a long usb cable with an extension in it.
I rearanged my equipment to allow for a shorter run and have not had the problem since.

For whatever reason our SP540V whacked every factory ether port on every computer we hooked to it so I replaced them with D-Link cards. Smooth sailin' ever since.
BTW I never did figure out why it would eat the OEM units.
