Use the command setting required by ULTRAFILMCUT and confirm that the same command is selected on your Graphtec plotter. Different command settings can prevent the software and plotter from communicating correctly.
The Step Size option is only available when GP GL is enabled as the command setting. Change the command setting first, then return to the Interface menu and open Step Size.
Confirm that the plotter is powered on, the USB or network connection is secure, and the correct Graphtec model is selected inside ULTRAFILMCUT. Also verify that the command setting on the plotter matches the software setting.

Press the Enter key to save the new setting, then return to the plotter’s default screen. Reconnect the plotter or reopen the software connection if ULTRAFILMCUT does not recognize the change immediately.
