Benji20 0 Posted April 15, 2020 Hello guys, I just ordered my first vinyl cutter today, it is a DGI Omega OM60. As I am new to everything, this is a whole new confusing thing for me to learn! I thought it was just plug in an play but clearly not. I have downloaded Signcut Pro 2 as this was recommended to me. I am running Windows 8 on my PC. I am having to use a Serial Adapter to convert my comms lead from the vinyl cutter to USB. So, when I receieve my cutter - is it just a matter of connecting everything up, or is there more? Will I need to install drivers etc? This is the serial to USB lead i ordered https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-to-Serial-RS232-Cable-1-2m-DB9-Adapter-Converter-Lead-Adaptor-9-Pin/110914848381?hash=item19d30a467d:g:I9kAAOSwy5ZXC57w Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted April 16, 2020 almost any peripheral that is on windows will need some kind of driver. if your cutter has a USB port, I'd recommend trying that first. If it doesn't then the recommend way to go would be to get a null serial cable and a Tripplite brand keyapsn (serial to USB adapter). plug n play is over simplified. anything you send to the cutter needs to be in vector format (versus raster). if you're unsure of the difference, I highly suggest you Google it, because you will need to know the difference and why it's important. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
