USB INTERFACE NOTES
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 ON A WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
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. For Windows XP, the computer should find the new USB device and ask for
the driver. Insert the “Gerber P2C Driver Disk” CD ROM in your CD ROM drive
and follow the instructions on the screen. For instructions on loading the
drivers for older operating systems see the instructions “Installing the USB
Driver and P2C Plotter.pdf” on the driver disk.
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.
