NOTE:
When the cutter is connected to a computer for the first time using the USB
cable, the computer will detect the cutter and ask for the USB driver. The driver is
included on the CD containing this user’s manual. Failure to install the USB driver the
first time the cutter is connected may result in the computer listing it as an “unknown
device.” Then the only way to install the driver properly is to uninstall the device or to
update the driver using the Windows device manager.
