CHAPTER 2. CONNECTION AND PREPARATION 

CHAPTER 2. CONNECTION AND PREPARATION 

 

2.1  Connecting the Power Adapter 

Connect the AC adapter jack of the cutter to the AC outlet of the rated voltage using the AC adapter included with 
the Craft ROBO and turn on the power. 

 

Always connect to the AC adapter jack before connecting to the AC outlet.

 

 

1.  Connect the power cable (included with the AC adapter) to the AC adapter. 

2.  Plug the AC adapter cable into the AC adapter jack of the cutter. 

3.  Plug the other end of the power cable into the AC outlet. 

2.2  Connecting to a Computer 

Connect the cutter to a computer via USB cable. 
 

 

Use a USB cable to connect the cutter to a computer. The USB cable has different 
plug shapes on the computer side and the main-unit side. Always check which plug 
connects to which side.   

 

Do not connect two or more units of the Craft ROBO to one computer. Do 
not connect the Craft ROBO and a Graphtec plotter to a computer at the 
same time. Otherwise, the Craft ROBO may not operate properly.
