cable of my plotter

Recommended Posts

hello, unintentionally I hit the cable of my plotter and ended up breaking the cable.
I would like to weld it again, but I don't know the pinout used. would anyone have the pinout model?
(plotter graphtec ce 5000/60)

I can't say for sure, but it is most likely a Null Modem cable, 9pin to 25pin. What pins is that green wire connected to? It looks like pins 1 and 7? If so, that's not a normal null modem cable and hopefully someone that actually knows what the cable is will come along soon.

Does that model not have a USB port?

Will it work? No idea. As I said, just a guess that it is a null modem cable. You can give it a try. I don't believe there is danger of frying something by wiring the cable up as a null modem.

Again, I don't know anything about this plotter, but my understanding from reading on here is the USB on Graphtecs works quite well and is the preferred option for most. Why were you never able to use it?

the computer does not recognize the plotter.
I've reinstalled the drive but to no avail.

Are you sure that the driver installed correctly.? Have you tried a different USB cable.?   Which  computer operating  system?  Which cutting software are you using?

hello, I'm using cutting master v4
windows 10 computer
I've tried other USB ports on the computer but to no avail.
thought it could be the plotter's usb output.

yes, I put the cutter in gp-gl mode, would the plotter's USB output be burned?

Try a different cutting software.   Signblazer is free   use the   setup exe   download     Try the Copam CP-2500   model   

Command HP-GL       http://www.uscuttersupport.com/downloads/Software/SignBlazer/

 

On Windows 10 does the driver show up in Printers for the Graphtec Ce5000? 

You could also try a trial of VinylMaster Demo  And see if you can at least connect to USB      https://vinylmaster.software/   Free demo

I'm not a graphtec user, don't they  have their own software? Will the ce5000 work with that?

Did you ever try a different USB cable?  They can break.  I have had broken USB cables before.
