Operation
I have had a certain amount of success running the cutter with a serial connection from Inkscape under Linux. More messing around is needed.--Artag 13:32, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sometimes the cutter refuses to print or respond to any buttons. This hasn't happened since I opened a door in the bottom of the printer and poked an EPROM there, so may be due to some poor internal connection.
- The serial cable (blue, with a 25WD at one end and a 9WD at the other) is connected as follows :
| Cutter, 25 pin male D | PC, 9 pin female D | Use |
| pin 2 | pin 2 | PC RXD from cutter |
| 3 | 3 | PC TXD to cutter |
| 4 | n/c | cutter pin 5, RTS CTS loopback |
| 5 | n/c | cutter pin 4, RTS CTS loopback |
| 7 | 5 | ground |
| 20 | 8 | cutter DTR to PC CTS, flowcontrol |
This provides for hardware (rts/cts) handshake. Software flowcontrol may be OK but the cutter manual suggests overrun may occur.
