Hi everyone! Printing on an Epson S60600 and using Onyx 22 Gamma Print as my rip. When cutting with barcode on my Graphtec - is there a way to specify the path(s) the cutter takes? I know there's a "cut paths" box in cut server, but it's just an on/off without any real instruction or information.
I've read the recent thread regarding "F" and "R" barcodes, and in some instances I need to cut with the rear barcode first (sometimes due to laminate, sometimes because I messed up and that's the only barcode left). When using the rear barcode, the cutter still cuts as if the media were forward facing, but backwards. For example, when cutting "normally" (with F barcode) it will cut from very front right of the vinyl - first row, right to left, then feed the media forward to begin the next row, right to left again (although I wish it just did alternating rows as left to right would be far less carriage travel). When using Rear barcode it will cut from rear left coner of the given reg marks it's working in, cut left to right, then pull the media back to cut the next row.
I'd like the cutter to perform the cuts in the same pattern (front right, to left, repeat) regardless of which barcode it scans. Cutting "backward" causes the rollers to sometimes pop out a graphic and despite my best efforts, I haven't found a solution. I really hope I explained that well.... Does anyone have any advice (OTHER than "just use flexi", lol) ???
TLDR: "F" Barcode cuts right to left, front to rear. "R" barcode cuts left to right, rear to front. How do I cut "R" the same as "F"?
TIA
