Graphect CE6000-60 PLUS which cable needed?

[StotheP 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone with experience with older Graphtec plotters can help me before I buy yet another wrong cable.

I have a Graphtec CE6000-60 PLUS. During a recent move I lost the original communication cable that was connected between the plotter and my PC.

What I know so far:

- The plotter has a DB25 connector labeled RS-232C.

- In the plotter menu the interface is set to RS-232C.

- I also see a USB-style connector on the machine.

- Cutting Master reports "No connected device".

- Windows does not show any COM port in Device Manager.

 

What I have already tried:

- I connected the plotter with a standard USB printer cable (USB-A to USB-B).

- The computer did not recognize the plotter.

- I have already bought two cables/adapters that turned out to be wrong.

 

My question:

What is the exact cable I need to connect this plotter to a Windows 10 Pro PC

If possible, could someone please provide a link to the exact cable and perhaps de right driver that works with this model? I know this plotter works with this Windows since I have used it before. 

I would really appreciate it, because at this point I have already purchased the wrong hardware twice.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

PS. I have added some pictures. Since I use this plotter for my hobby I do not know all the technical stuff. Thanks everybody who wants to help.

I use a standard USB cable.  Is this also a different computer than what you were sending the cutting jobs from?  How were previously connected to the cutter?

If this is a 'new' computer for your cutter, typically the drivers should be installed first, before you plug in the cutter.

You should hit up the Graphtec website to grab the latest driver, and instruction on the driver installation if necessary.  That should walk you thru the driver download and installtion
