reelguitars 0 Posted September 2, 2009 I have an MH721 and an MH1351. Using SignBlazer of course. Can I connect the 2 to 1 computer? In setup, will both cutters be discovered? Also, since they use the same drivers, if you send to 1 will it send to both? I just want to be able to pick the cutter I want to send the image to and let er rip. One more thing, has anyone ever heard of cutting a USB cable in two and extending it? I need 2 about 30' long to go from my computer to the room where my cutters are located. As always, thanks for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 2, 2009 In theory, you just create 2 separate setups in SB...then chose whichever one you want to use. But you will have to do it every time you change from one to the other.Anmd I think they each need to be connected on a different port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NinjaEpisode 0 Posted September 2, 2009 On cutting the USB cable, not a good idea. Maximum length is rated to around 5 meters or so. You'll actually have to get a powered USB cable to extend the cable that far. You can do it with powered USB hubs as well, but for 60' you're looking at a 3 or 4 powered USB hubs along the route. You're almost better off putting a second PC out where your cutter is and runnning ethernet to network the two together and share files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paradox 0 Posted September 6, 2009 Sounds like adding a second serial port and using serial lines is the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
