    PCUT, laptop, and usb port

    Hey friends, I am here with an update after asking several questions, some of them not very sensible on my Pcut CT 1200. I guess I was asking some of those questions out of ignorance and panic. I had invested everything in the new cutter and for it not to work was a big thing for me. I was thinking my cutter won't work again after trying everything to no avail. Thanks for your patience in answering all my questions. I am here to announce that my cutter did finally work! I got a serial cable as suggested by one member here. It connected but still couldn't cut. The magic was the baud rate. The manual says it should be 9600. I was not able to see the baud rate on the cutter and it was a big headache. Someone on a Facebook forum suggested I use 34600. I checked on the options both on the device manager (serial com port) and SignBlazer, I didn't have them. I had the next highest, 38400. I tried it and boom! it was cutting. I haven't had issues since then. I am now just trying different things to perfect my art in this new field. Once again, thanks for your help. However I have not been able to figure out how to import into SignBlazer no matter how many times I have tried. So far I am able to cut things that I design directly on it. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Do you need drivers for serial cable? I have also been trying with a laptop and USB cable for days but no success. Today I want to try a desktop with a serial cable. Any advise on how to go about it?

    Pcut 1200 Test Cut

    Joined yesterday but im so impressed with the kind of support i have received. The computer can now communicate with the cutter. What is remaining is for me to figure out how to send the work to the cutter using SignBlazer. I'm new to it so im learning how it works. I'm confident that once i figure that out i should do my first cut!

    I did install SignBlazer but did not manage to cut. I guess i have to look at some settings to match the SignBlazer and the cutter. I will post an update tomorrow once i have done that. It's a great and easy option for me

    Pcut 1200 Test Cut

    I transported it on a bus for over 800km. Could something be loose? It powers ok. There is a connection to the PC. Display looks good with all buttons working. Only when i press the pause button twice it gives me the U-Disk thing

    When i press pause twice, it says "Insert U-Disk"
  8. How do i do a test cut on the cutter. It doesnt have a test cut button. There is also 'Laser OFF/On Work Mode' as you toggle the screen which i dont understand

    Pcut 1200 not cutting

    I bout a Pcut 1200 cutter without a software. I have downloaded a trial version of SignCut based on recommendations from this forum. When i try to cut the SignCut letters that you see when you open the platform, the cutter displays 'Online Working' Onmy laptop there is a dialogue box of SignCut showing it is working but it is taking forever to fill the blank bar with green. Ii just shows the beginning in green and nothing else. Anybody knows how i can go round this?
