BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 18, 2008 the serial port is usually com1... but I have seen it as high as 6. Try switching ports around and see if another one works. By drivers...Terry means which cutter drivers? I had to use the Redsail drivers for awhile. I can't remember why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted March 18, 2008 I have never seen a Serial port assigned to COM3, unless it was manually changed. Usually COM1 and COM2 is reserved for the Serial port on your computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hrg 4 Posted March 18, 2008 All the other ports I tried said "error" when tryin to cut. How do I find the cutter driver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can be changed. You need to open your device manager and see what number is assigned to the com port if it is anything but 1,change it back to 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
