    Gecko G540 from Xylotex

    Wow what a difference. Great setup manual and the trouble shooting guide was excellent. Reading it up front allowed me to avoid all the pitfalls like my parallel port was set to bi-directional instead of EPP.

    It took me about an hour to solder all of the connections then about another hour to get it in the case and wire it up.

    The machine used to run at 105 ipm in X ,95 ipm in Y and only 65 ipm in Z.

    After the change 185 , 185 and 165ipm.

    Like to say thanks to the Gecko team for a job well done, and making something real easy to set up.

    Thanks
    Glenn
