Sinbadusa 0 Posted September 20, 2009 Was recently given a Bridge Pro720 (same as Refine I understand) from my Brother-in-law.He had it for 2 year or so and could never make it work. He gave me only a USB cable which I tried and I also could not get the cutter to work. I desperately need the pinout for the parallel connection so I can try to get this cutter working. Any help from you folks out there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest crshirts Posted September 20, 2009 You will have better luck with serial cable, I believe it is a null modem cable. Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinbadusa 0 Posted September 21, 2009 You will have better luck with serial cable, I believe it is a null modem cable. Carl Ok Picked up a null modem adapter at the Shack(all they had) and attached it to a 9 pin strait serial cable I had. Serial port is on Com 1 Baud rate 9600 ,Artcut also set to Com 1 Baud rate 9600. Tried to print the test but nothing happens Also tried the Baud settings at 4800 still nothing. Maybe not a standard null setup? Anyone have any info on this? Thanks Sinbadusa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinbadusa 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Com settings 9600 8 none 1 x on, x off What driver are you using? I would stay away from artcut get the download of signcut trial or something else. It finally works...... Thanks so much It came with Artcut so I was trying both Artcut and Signgo Lite. Your setting did the trick although not in Artcut. Now software suggestions...... I would like something reasonable in price as this is strickly for personal use. Again thanks to all who gave me suggestions!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
