Once I load the vinyl it does initialize, and then it says that I am supposed to hit previous but the screen does not go back anywhere. It just stays the same and the menu does not change. It stays on where is says the cond. #, Tool, ect. but does not move forward or backwards to any other command. Am I missing something Could it be because of vista. I was able to do a test print manually from the machine and that came out perfect.

Ok I figured out how to get rid of the error but then it does nothing. I send the file and it just sits If I restart it goes right back to getting the error. Is there some other setting I am missing?

Re: I have an HPGL error on my Graphtec CE5000-60 :(
This info may help lead you in the right direction:
HP-GL ERROR 1
1) Noise was received when the computer was turned on. Press the ENTER key to cancel the error.
2) The software command settings for controlling the cutting plotter have been changed. Set the software command set-tings for controlling the cutting plotter.
3) The data-transmission settings have been changed in the interface settings. Set the correct data-transmission conditions.
I wonder if your cutter is setup in Serial Mode vs. USB for transmission? I would definitely check that as well.

Thanks ms blue I did go thru those in my trouble shooting guide and I couldnt find anything that was not set correctly. I am beginning to think it might be the driver since I have vista. I will try tomorrow to see whether there is an ugraded driver for vista. Its wierd after I get rid of the error, its like no communication at all. I know that at first the cutter is communicating somewhat because I get the error, but then once I correct the error there is no communication at all until I restart, and then it goes right back to the error
I tried to down load the vista driver from graphtec but it keeps asking for a user name and password to install, so I have to figure out what that is all about
Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate any help I can get. I think I might even start over by uninstalling everything and doing it over. Who knows, maybe something installed hokey or something

Yep I already figured that out chani I had to hit pause instead of previous as they had stated. It didnt work though. It goes away and then I get no communication at all from my computer until I restart, then it goes right back to the error. Any other ideas? Thanks

Well I tried deleting the other driver and uploading the vista driver and it still is doing the same thing I am going to have to play with it again tommorow and see if I can get it going. Thanks girls for trying to help me I will give it another go tommorow. I think I will start with a complete fresh install of everything.
