Please note that your Secabo vinyl cutter can be operated only with
Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Use with Windows 95 / 98 / Me is not
possible.
The unit is equipped with a USB-RS232 adapter to ensure that your Secabo vinyl
cutter also functions with cutting programs which can only control the peripheral
devices over a serial or parallel interface. This installs a virtual serial interface on
your PC under COM1 or COM2.

Before connecting the vinyl cutter to your PC, first install the appropriate
drivers from the driver CD provided by running the
SETUP.EXE
file. Click
"Install".
