USB connection: What's the consenseous?

Recommended Posts

I'd like to drive the CP2500 when it arrives from a laptop which will require using the USB adaption.  I have the impression from posts on this site that many have been unsuccessful in using USB. Is this an issue or have software improvements been made to correct this? Then again maybe I've misread and it never was an issue. Thank-You

If you have trouble with the USB to Serial cable that comes with the cutter, many users have found that the Keyspan USB to Serial adaptor works great. Like $30 or so at your local computer shop.

I thought that the people that were using the KeySpan were on Macs??? Maybe I miss read something, lol

Oops, for some reason I assumed he had a Mac.

There should not be a problem using the USB to Serial with a Windows computer. If so, there is an updated driver available for download from our downloads section of uscutter.com

For anyone reading this and considering this configuration during prepurchase. This turned out to be a non issue in my set-up. I also added a USB extension cable without any difficulty.
