4.3.3 INSTALLING THE USB SOFTWARE FOR YOUR MACINTOSH
Minimum requirements:
•
Macintosh OS 8.5 or higher
•
Macintosh with USB connection
Plug the cable connector securely into the cutter’s USB interface connector.
Plug the other end of the cable into the Mac’s USB interface connector.
Insert the “Gerber Cutter CD: Manuals and Drivers” CD-ROM into your Mac’s
CD-ROM drive. Double-click the “USB Install Driver” icon. This will automatically
install the driver and the Gerber PortMapper utility. Restart the computer once
installation is complete.
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.
If your software only supports modem or printer port connectivity (e.g.
MacCut), use the USB Gerber PortMapper utility to create an emulation of the
printer or modem port. Select “USB GerberCutter Port” from within the list of
available serial ports. Then select "Create Modem" or "Create Printer Port".
Close the USB Gerber PortRemapper and save the settings.
