I just picked up a used Gerber Fastrack 650. I use Signlab 7.1. For some reason after i have designed my image and go to cut it it scales it down 2.5 times its size......ie if the the image to cut is 10\" x 20\" on my monitor in signlab by the time its sent and cut on the plotter it is only 4\"x 8\" its a pain. Has anyone run into this before and if so can it be corrected. i never had this issue on my old signmaker IV

Your plotter can be set for 1016 or 2540 steps per inch.
You can change it on the plotter or
go to cut/plotting defaults and press Setup
Go to the 3rd tab called Plotter options
Put a check in EDit Resolution.
Change it from 1016 to 2540
