Throwing in the towel, for now Hi All: thanks for all the advice, but I admit defeat. In "page length" there is a measurement of 78", so I thought that was it, but now I just get an error message. So, I changed that and now when i hit cut, the plotter hums and nothing happens. So, I give up and...

Yup:makes no difference. C

Tried it: (thanks for your replies). I've set to HPGL, reset the origin-When I try to set the material size to "User defined" it won't let me put in a value more than 8.5" wide----This is making me crazy. Time for a break, then I'll try working from my corel and the Graphtec interface and see...

Hi all: like many of you here, I predate computer graphics. I've finally given up on my trusty Gerber 4B and have joined the 21st century w/ Flexi software and a small Graphtec plotter. I'm teaching myself how to use them and will have lots of questions. This is a great forum. BTW: I still have...
