Using Graphtec FC5100 with Wasatch

[MrSalumi]

Hello all.

I just bought a Graphtec FC5100-150 and can't get it to connect to my PC using Wasatch...

Just to be clear.. the USB port on the plotter is not an option so I am forced to connect via Parallel.

I bought a PCI-E Parallel port and have it physically connected.

In Wasatch I have my Unit2 set up as the Graphtec FC5100 and the ICC profile as "none"

That's where I am stuck... Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Have you tried calling Graphtec or Wasatch for some help.Just a thought.

Did you set the Physical Connection to LPT1 or LPT2 (or whatever your parallel card is set to)?

i found out that my USB connection was broken and was causing a low voltage short.. Effectively stopping communication between any port and the plotter.. After soldering in a new USB jack.. Its connected!!!!

Now on to figuring out how to use the registration marks.. ARGH
