I on a windows 10 PC and do have the USB to serial cable. could use direct me to somewhere that shows me what this is and how it works? (TRIPP-LITE keyspan Model: USA-19HS) is it software or an actual device?

I have a couple of disks. one has HASP files. I don't remember what those are. but it won't work using those. it will work thru SCAL5. that program just found the cutter and cut to it, but I'd really like to use Vinylmaster. Since a friend is giving me her 'never used' US Cutter, but she's...

I have that same panther cutter. it came with some disks, but ran on windows 7 which I no longer use. can I use Vinylmaster to cut? if so - what is the process? I know the Sure Cuts a Lot v5 will cut to it, but I'll be getting an older (but new) US Cutter from a friend at the end of June...

I have a question for you. I tried your method of saving as AI 1.1 and then importing into VE LXi but had a strange problem with the software. The artwork seemed to have imported fine (I'm running it on a virtual machine in Oracle's Virtual Box software) Xp Pro on a Win7 Host. The...

I'm not sure exactly what cutter I have. Yours look a tad more upscale that the one I have. As for the serial cable. I bought one from a local computer guy. used. that one did not work. I had ordered on thru EBAY before you specifying what I needed, so I wasn't sure that would work either...

Just posting that I had ordered a serial cable thru EBAY for the Panther cutter. I got the cable and it works great! Now I may try installing XP on VirtualBox again and then installing the VE software. I'm a little gun shy. I may wait until I have all the jobs cut that I'm waiting on artwork...

You have me curious now. I have a Garmin PIlot III. After looking at EBAY for the spec's you mentioned it showed garmin serial cables. That is what I have to download the latest GPS maps for my Pilot III. at least I think that it is what it is. I remember it being a special cable. My...

That is probably some of the best info I've gotten lately. Let me double check my software and cutter. I know it's a GRC-61, but let me make a note of the 'firmware' that shows up when booted. I have some photos of my cutter and the connections. Is there a way to send them so you could tell...

here is a link to the site that speaks about USB connections. I'm assuming they mean serial to USB.

what version are you running and on what cutter? there are USB drivers available but SW does not recommend the use of them. not sure why. I have to use a parallel port.

Sounds like you and I have the same hardware AND software. I do have WIn7PRo and also have XP Pro. I installed virtual box, installed WIN XP PRo, got the dongle up and running, got the software up and running but here is what I ran into. The software (VirtualBox) does not support parallel...

I have a rather old Panther cutter GRC-61. The manual isn't terribly helpful. Some of the setting require you to change something at a particular screen. I bought this pre-owned and have had it for about 5 years. I have never seen some of the screen displays referenced in their book. I did...

is there a general rule of thumb pertaining to cutter depth based on material? I buy generic vinyl since it is mainly used for generating chisel type artwork to make silkscreens. often it doesn't have ANY information on it. It barely cuts the material. The other question (in the same vein)...

As promised, I'm posting my 'trials and tribulations with VE LXi software, on Virtual Box using a parallel cable. NOT! I was able to successfully get my software loaded using Virtual Box and setting up XP Pro in that. It took the dongle and everything else but it would not, repeat would NOT...

I have 20days left on the free trial. I would have thought that also had I installed it a whle back. Sig Tools requires a 232-C serial cable. Is that a modem cable or some other type? How can I identify the correct cable? The used one I bought was supposed to be correct, but maybe it's not...

I uninstalled the virtual machine. I also tried uninstalling the signtools and reinstalling, but that didn't work either. I picked up a serial cable but have no way of confirming it is the 232-C cable that sign tools requires. (local computer guy - used cable). I tried changing LPT1 to LPT2...

I downloaded and used signtools4. initially it worked. I was trying to get my VELXi software to work at the same time using Virtual Box. I was given some code to help activate the printing via my Parallel port (which worked with sign tools). I went in to the root directory of the HOST...

I think I have the serial ports in XP. In the VB serial ports show up as an option. I had read that the USB port on my cutter doesn't work to communicate. I tried it and it won't recognize it, while it does recognize my thumb drive and my hardware USB key as well as my printer which runs...

I was able to install the software using VirtualBox. I got everything up and running with one exception: it won't recognize my parallel connection to the cutter, so I'm on the hunt for an older serial cable with a male DB25 connection at the cutter and a DB9 at the PC. I sure hope that works...

I wouldn' know where to start with Linux. Here is where I am so far. installed virtualbox. OK installed the VELxi software and hasp key - OK tried to do a test 'cut'. Not OK. It tells me it can't open the port. I can't seem to find a driver for the GRC-61 cutter. I haven't rebooted at...
