Contour cut with Onyx and Graphtec FC9000

[Mata]

Think I am going crazy

I bought a new FC9000 and thought it would also be a good time to reinstall my computer.

I've just gone to print a job and it's printing the cut lines.

I went into onyx and took a look at the quickset I am using, the FC9000 is selected and I've ticked Use Cut Path Prefix. It then has a list of items such as Cut;Throu;Pounce;Kiss;Pen

Sop I went into my design program, created a spot colour with i.e. Cut and set the stroke.

I've then printed the graphic and it's printed the line and and no cut data.

Think I am going crazy as I thought I new how to set this up but now I can't seem to think.

Any ideas?

Double click the job in Onyx and on the left select the bottom menu, named colors.
Do you see the Cut spot color in that list?
If not, your file is faulty.

Perfect, I don't see the colour so at least that gives me a place to start.

Also, on another note, along the top where your printer status is, it has tabs i.e. Start print: manual, timeout, full.

I was told what Full meant but I can't think what it is now?

Full means that when the sheet or roll is full of jobs it will start printing them.

Thank you, the spot colour thing worked, still not sure what happened but I resaved it and it now works.

Full is opening up another can of worms then. I don't remember taking notice of it and I don't recall being told that what it was for. I'm bing told it's 173% but I have a roll of 10m media in there and only a few images taking less than 1m
