SignLab and Allendata 830 cutter problem

[margaret helminen]

I have reinstalled SignLab 9 and am connected to Allendata 830 cutter. Since reinstall, I can't cut with Signlab. The test cut for the cutter is good, but nothing once I am in SignLab. Someone suggested a null modem serial cable. Do I have one if my program and cutter used to talk to each other? Any help would be great!

Are you using the driver for plotter or cadlink fastboard, is proper port selected, using hpgl?

I don't know what any of that means. Can you explain?
The troubling thing is, it used to work. We haven't disconnected any cables or switched any ports.

Go to : Cut | Plotting defaults | selected driver and check your driver and go to Setup | Port and check your port location.

Thank you! I'm good to cut.
