4.3.1 USB SPECIFICATIONS
The cutter’s built-in USB interface is based on the standards specified in
Universal Serial Bus Specifications Revision 1.1.
The cable length should be 5 meters or less.
The adaptable connector type is USB Series “B”.
The cable specifications are USB Series A 4-pin for the computer side and USB
Series B 4-pin for the cutter side.
4.3.2 INSTALLING THE USB SOFTWARE UNDER WINDOWS
1. Verify that your software will support a USB driver.
The computer should be using either the WIN98 or WIN2000 operating
system.
2. Plug the cable connector securely into the cutter’s USB interface
connector. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s USB
interface connector.
3. The computer should find the new USB device and ask for the driver. Insert
the “Gerber Cutter CD: Manuals and Drivers” CD ROM in your CD ROM
drive and follow the instructions on the screen.
4. The device driver will be installed.
5. Restart the computer. Next to the cutter’s USB connector is a small light
emitting diode (LED) that will either be on, blinking or off. If the LED is off
then the cutter and the computer are not communicating and all
connections must be re-examined.
