In this error, notice ORCHID_FAUCET__HOLE_15″ on line 3. The ” is an invalid character in all CAD software and because the ” is used in the color name, your CAD software cannot open that file.

Invalid Characters are < > / \ ” : ? | , = `

To correct this problem:

1. Open the .dxf file in the LT-55 XL software.
2. Click Color and change the color name by removing all invalid characters i.e. < > / \ ” : ? | , = `
3. Close the color menu.
4. Save the file.
5. Open the .dxf file in your CAD software.

Valid characters that may be used in your layer/color names:

• A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
• a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
• 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
• $ _ -

1. Open the i-TECH Remote Panel By clicking on Start / Programs / Allen Datagraph and make sure the plotter is turned on with material in it.
2. Click on Diagnostics / Calibrate Square Plot
3. Type in 30 for the “X (media movement) size in inches” and press OK
4. Type in 20 for the “Y (knife movement) size in inches” and press OK
5. The plotter will now plot the material. Once done cutting, measure the material. You need to be as actuate as possible on these measurements. Write down the measurements and convert to decimal (ie 30 1/16” is 30.0625)
6. Click on Diagnostics / Calibrate 07
7. Type in 30 for “X Drawn” and the actual measurement for “X Measured”
8. Type in 20 for “Y Drawn” and the actual measurement for “Y Measured”
9. Repeat steps 2-8 one more time and make adjustments if needed. Once the “Drawn” and “Measured” dimensions are the same, your plotter has been recalibrated correctly.
