bowhunter012004 4 Posted June 13, 2009 Just so its official, I will never use the USB to send jobs from the computer to my Cutter. My cutter always froze half way through big cuts. NEVER AGAIN, Im throwing away the usb plug. ITS CRAP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted June 13, 2009 well, all I can say is...USB is never as good as serial. Proven time and again here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhunter012004 4 Posted June 13, 2009 Not to mention it will freeze up your programs when your sending a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted June 14, 2009 Ever since I replaced the stock USB cable and checked to Emulate a Serial Printer over the USB the memory problems resolved itself and the cutter started working much better on longer cuts where normally it would stutter or freeze! Sadly I have no Serial option on my cutter since they neglected to include one but the USB works ok for me now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted June 17, 2009 Dragon, Explain about where you chekced to emulate a serial port. I think more like to know what you mean to reduce possible USB problems. Thanks, Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeBlow 5 Posted July 5, 2009 As BannerJohn says it NEVER going to be as good as a serial connection. It's not only plotters that have trouble with a USB connection, there's quite a lot hardware issues with USB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted July 5, 2009 Go into the advanaced properties of the USB Serial Port and there is an option to check (Serial Emulation) I cut 10 feet of lettering this weekend without a single hesitation in the machine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenimes 42 Posted July 10, 2009 Open your Device Manager and expand the Ports category. Right click on the Communications Port (COM1), then left click on Properties. Go to the Port Settings tab, then the Advanced button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
