How fast should job start?

[doobyducktruck 1]

I'm a complete newbie at this stuff. I have got my ct630 setup, signcut installed etc. All seems ok.

 

To get my first test cut out, I loaded inkscape, typed in the word "test" in a large strong font, saved it as a svg file.

 

Opened that svg file in signcut, did a preview of the cut, all looks good, adjusted the paper size and image size and hit "cut out"

 

Immediately my ct630 control panel lit up, text on it changed to say "Working" and the fans started. That was nearly ten minutes ago. Nothing else has happened.

 

Clueless...help !

In a petulant fit i increased the baud rate to 38400 and that fixed it, instantly started printing. I don't understand why, but as long as it works....

Baud rate I belive is the communication speed between your computer and the device--how fast data transmission occures.

 

My CTN630 is set to 9600, and my port (COM1) setting is set to 9600, 8, none, 1, none. ( I use the tripplite keyspan adaptor). In my software I use 9600, 8, none, 1.
