Gravograph IS600 problem.

Post by gravoprof »

Hi! I have problem using Vectric products with my IS 600 machine. There is a ''INSTRUCTION Z ??? '' error on machine display. This error mean's that data not right to machine. I try VCarve pro, Cut 2d and Cut 3d. Always the same problem. Any experiences with this problem? Is anyone use Vectric products with IS600, IS700 or IS800 machine? They all use same driver box. Hope, that someone can help me?

I looked at the PP but I have no knowledge of the Gravograph code requirements.

Mark at Vectric is the man to talk to regarding PPs. Send an email to support.

It is now the middle of the night there, so may need to give them time to reply.

Hello gravoprof,

I am afraid that not all Gravograph machines can be driven by third party CAM software.
The latest models of Gravograph machines have had a firmware "upgrade" that encrypts
the code.
If your machine has the latest firmware, you would need to "downgrade" the firmware
to a version that does not encrypt the code.

I hope that this helps.

Mark.
