budracer1 0 Posted May 1, 2010 Hello Im using Flexi Pro 8.1 and a Summa cutter. Right now if I want to cut anything I do on my laptop i have to send it to the production manager on my desktop since thats where the machine is hooked. I was thinking i should be able to cut straight from my laptop, kind of like I can print from any pc in my house. Any Ideas? thanks JB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 1, 2010 you mean wireless? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
budracer1 0 Posted May 1, 2010 Well kinda... i guess. I mean I have all my computers networked together so that all my laptops and desktops will print on the printers hooked up to my main pc. I would assume that you could do this with a vinyl cutter also but maybe im wrong....the summa doesnt show up on the printers screen to enable the sharing like my printers do.

tinaski 11 Posted May 1, 2010 yes you can we were set up that way - cutter connected to computer "A" did designs on computer "B" then sent cut from B to A and the cutter cut its been a while but you have to load flexi on both computers and there is a place to check on the flexi that is on computer A - something like allow to use remote flexi to cut i will see how to set it up - but it can be done dont give up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest manwayvan Posted May 1, 2010 Have you tried setting up the cutter under the production manager on the laptop as a network device? I believe that when you add a cutte it will give you the option as a network device...I have flexi on 2 comps and cut from 1 but when I press send..it holds it in the production manager until I goto the desktop and press send and then it will cut the design Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest manwayvan Posted May 1, 2010 I believe that on the laptop when you send it there is an option instead of holding it will send it directly..I cant remember where I have seen it at but I know its there and believe it under the cutting options and not the pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeygirl 30 Posted May 1, 2010 Don't know if this makes it easier for you, but if I want to do that, I just open my desktop remotely from my laptop and send it to the cutter that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
