Trying to get a ROLLAND CAM 1 PRO GX 500 to cut using an old version of Flexi Photo print

I've never had any luck doing print cut with anything but the correct driver. You can usually fake them out if you're just cutting (ie sending data one direction only). but if you're reading registration marks, then the data flows 2 directions and things get confused. I think there are smart HPGL drivers now that may be able to do it, but I doubt your older Flexi software has those.

Good Luck

 

What Flexi version is being used there?

 

Look for the CSM files in the photoprint folder. Then look for the roland.csm. You can open it in notepad and modify the file, copy an existing loadout and paste it at the bottom. Change the name to GX500. Then change the parameters for the cutter aka "width". Then chnge the name of the old csm file, then resave the new one as "Roland.csm"
]

This is out of the csm file i have from an old version. just copy and paste this in the roland csm file......

I had to do this for my GX640. FYI SAI removed the ability to do this in v10.
