Your cutter must be set on GPGL. (you can find it on the cutter manual)
Install Graphtec driver from the cd-rom , then from WinPCSIGN/ Plotter code select USB and driver usb . Very important that the cutter must also set 0.025 of scale
Here is a picture of Graphtec instruction page :
You dont need any update . |

i already set this to 0.025 mm on my cutter
this is still cutting the same only a few letters and approx 100mm of lines loads of them
ive never had any problems with this cutter like this with any other software
and i have used a few
im not happy at all not sure winpcsign is compatible with a graphtec ce5000-60 im thinking of sending this software back |

we never mentioned Step Pass ? we told you the STEP SIZE , this option is related to the scale.
I repeat you, we have CE5000-40 and CE7000-60 here and WinPCSIGN work very well with.
The Graphtec manual instruction say, that you need to change this value depending the software that you use . |

i just got it working
it was down to the install disc being scratched i think
i did a reinstall 3rd time after cleaning the disc
also a didnt run the update
can you send me a replacement disc please
it was damaged as in the case it came loose on delivery and got marked
the logo and font discs have a bit of foam to keep them in place |
