Epson Edge Print -> Graphtec

[Tristan21]

Hey guys. We are moving on from Onyx (need to upgrade to use our R5070 printer), and I am attempting to connect our Graphtec FC9000-140 to our Epson Edge Print.

I am having nothing but issues. Here's where I currently sit...

Windows 10 PC
Newest version of Graphtec Studio & newest version of Epson Edge Print. All firmware and drivers up to date also.

I am running in to issues with my rip server options in Epson Edge. I don't know if my settings are correct (I can't find a thing on Google to help me). Ideally I would like to use the barcode feature so our less than completely savvy workers can cut prints a little easier on the Graphtec.

I did 2 test prints, both with barcodes. The cut files went to my specified rip folder (that I don't know if is correct), as .eps and .json files. I can open them in Graphtec Studio, but can't do anything with them. When the barcode scanner read the barcode, it said it couldn't find the cut file.

Any help guys?!

Edit - Actually....I don't think using barcodes will be possible because we have three other computers connected to the graphtec to put un-printed vinyl, and if I understood it correctly Data-Link only allows for one. So I'm only looking to use Epson Edge Print for my printing and cut file creation. The rest we'll do ourselves I guess.

You use only 1 Data link server. Cannot choose Remote Server in GS2, but can Share the queue folder and save the cut to file on the remote computer.
Try reserve the IP address for the computer with the Datalink server.
Graphtec softwares are the worst. need time to get around if choose to use them.

I opened the file on the main computer (on Graphtec Studio 2, where I printed), and my printed registration marks don't come up as registration marks. The same happened when I opened on a different computer (same network) on Cutting Master 4/5. How do I fix this?

Actually, I can't do the barcode method because I can't use the data link option. Our graphtec is connected to 3 other computers to cut colored vinyl as well as prints.

My issue now is that Epson Edge print creates and prints registration marks, however Graphtec Studio / Cutting Master doesn't see them as registration marks. It simply sees them as objects to cut. How do fix this?

If edge Creates registration It Should Cut as well.
If you want to cut with GS2, Create barcode and Registration in GS2. Send Print layer to print and cut layer for Datalink server.

Edge creates barcode and reg marks, however cuts through GS2. Ideally...I would love to use Edge to rip/print/create registration marks (no barcodes), and then cut from GS2 or Cutting Master 4/5. Barcodes are not going to work here.
