I was having the same problem. The files loaded onto the card from the computer software with no problem, but I got the message "This card can not be used on this machine." After playing around with it, I found that for it to work I need to be sure that I only save them to the card with the 4" x 4" / 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" hoop selected. I get the error message if I select either of the bigger hoop sizes, even if the design itself is small enough to fit. Hope this helps!

Not with the characters built into the machine. Mine came with a CD I don't know about it. But you can purchase all type of things from a website you can download immediately for about $1.99 ea and get one free with every purchase. My favorite place to purchase is www.embroiderydesigns.com

Did you find an answer to your index card question? I have also been trying to figure out how to print 3 x 5 index cards. It's very frustrating.

I ran into the same problem when I first used it. I found out that I was scanning the pictures upside down, thankfully I caught it after 5 pictures when I checked. Also, make sure your card is formatted.

Yes I have. Make sure you have Amex effects enabled before running the program or game. Hope that helps

Ruth, I have seen this problem in the past with other printers, so it would not have been an issue for me this time HAD it happened. I am pleased to say that NO ink error messages have occurred after purchasing and installing this! I hope you are as fortunate should you purchase it.

I have tried and tried to put american greetings creatacard gold 3 on windows 7 and it will not go on. Any help would be appreciated. If I could just update it some way that would help. I love the calendar ant the event reminder on this program. I also have Sierra Print Artist disney Mickey and Friends and cannot get it installed either. Thanks for any tips.

I have this problem often and it's the gears directly in there. Both sides need the gears adjusted by finger to ensure that they are both closest to the top. This is in the instructions so it may be something you've tried, but that's what always works for me. The gears have to be up to grab the cards. If that doesn't work it might be an issue beyond the gears you can access and something else could've shifted in shipping.

I have the same problem. I'm not sure if it's specific to the card or a driver issue.

I can't help, I can only commiserate because this was a terrible design and one they quickly removed from their production of these machines but we owners are still stuck with a machine that is practically unusable. We need a class-action lawsuit. I have tried every way possible to bypass that cassette. Nothing works. Some cassettes work better than others. Some thread 'weights' (thicknesses or brands) work better than others. Make sure you absolutely have the threading correct. The instruction manual shows it threaded differently than the decal on the cassette itself. Good luck.

I have not had this issue. We are using the isi branded refills. If you are following directions then you may want to return it.

Yes, I have the same issue and the only way I've found to correct this is to turn my printer off/on. The only thing I can figure is that Printer companies aren't really in the business of selling printers - they make the bulk of their money selling ink. With this in mind, I believe they have installed a subroutine which counts the copies made and when the cartridge should have expired this pop-up appears. I use my printer often making color photo prints and it appears to be on a regular cycle. I've not yet figured out a way to by-pass or disable this. Sorry I can't be more helpful but even with this inconvenience the bulk ink system has saved me a lot of money.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem. I have never had that problem, but have had many other problems with this program. It maybe your printer settings but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the program itself. I have used the older versions of Printmaster for many years and was very happy with it but since I changed my computer I had to buy one for windows7 and it is the worst I ever had! What a waste of money. Nothing prints out right and it has a very limited selection for cards etc. I would see if it can be returned for something else.

Yes, same thing just happened to me today, haven't even gone through the first ink cartridge yet, I'm on here looking for answers.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.

Never happened to me. Must be something wrong. Exchange for a new one. I love this label maker, it's worth it to get a new one.

I don't know if there are quality issues with the product, but the one I purchased still works fine. Could it be operator error? You do have to have a card in the reader for your computer to recognize it. The reader is just an interface between the card and computer, nothing more.
