cutme 5 Posted January 31, 2011 first off i reccomend using a serial connection if your cutter has one. have you checked the port settings in the sb software to make sure they match the port settings in your computers device manager? bb http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,1602.0.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkdezigns 0 Posted February 3, 2011 hi it has a serial port but i need to use usb,and i cand get sb to recognise it on usb ports,but i know it worked as it was set to usb before,ive tried selecting every port on sb cutter settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 5, 2011 with the usb try using a back usb port - less power issues than the ones on the headers out front. also a quality usb cable . . . . if it is a laptop buy a good used windows xp computer for under 50.00 with a serial port and be amazed. if a new tower add a serial port with a card from newegg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted February 6, 2011 What do you mean, you have no device manager in XP? Do you mean you can't find it? My computers are XP... Control panel> System> UNDER SYSTEM PROPERTIES> Hardware>device manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted February 6, 2011 If it is on com port 4 on your computer, make sure you use com port 4 in Signblazer, try the Roland PNC1000 driver, it's a generic driver. Your welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkdezigns 0 Posted February 7, 2011 hmmm no roland option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted February 8, 2011 Roland is in Signblazer last time I looked. If you can't find it, try this version. Use the Download in CUTME post. 3rd post down. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,21665.0.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
