Installing a GERBER EDGE using a generic USB-to-Parallel cable
You can install a GERBER EDGE as a USB device using a generic USB-to-Parallel available at
local computer stores. Most of these generic USB-to-Parallel cables use the standard Windows
drivers to communicate with the printer. The USB installation option is available with the
following software configurations:
♦
OMEGA 2.5.1 or higher
♦
OMEGA 2.5 with software updates to GQ Mgr (version 2,5,0,11 or higher) and G32
Setup.dll. These software updates are available from the download section of the GSP
web site: http://www.gspinc.com/support/downloads/software.html
Gerber has performed limited testing of USB-to-Parallel cable and cannot guarantee success
with all cables in the market. Your results may vary. During testing we have experienced
success with the following cables:
♦
InSystem Design ISD 103
♦
Belkin® VID_05AB (This older Belkin cable was successful; a newer Belkin cable
IVD_050D did not work.)
♦
Radio Shack® VID1453
To connect the USB-to-Parallel cable and install the driver
Note: You must have Administrative privileges to install the Windows USB-to-Parallel driver
or any software updates on your system.

Be sure the GERBER EDGE is powered off. Connect the parallel (Centronics) end of
the cable into the back of the GERBER EDGE.
