Artcut 2009: How to Use This Software?

It depends on the plotters... Some require specific software to perform a cut or a print, while others like the Graphtec are fine with Corel or Illustrator...

So the first thing is which plotter??

Hello everyone, I just bought a plotter and Artcut software in England.
The software works, despite some issues importing or creating my images.
But mainly, when trying to send the file to the plotter, no information goes through.
I don't have a model type for the machine and don't know what to choose from the listing. There's nothing in the manual or on the plotter.
My plotter works in test mode but there's no connection possible.
I've installed the software three times but it's still the same.
Help... LOL I'm cracking up.

Thank you for your interest, it's a plotter like this one: https://www.ouiouitex.com/

I don't know...

But basically the principle is almost always the same...

The plotter expects to find a trace indication either by a specific thickness or by a specific color name that we give to a contour.

In most cases, the trace must be a contour (and not a surface)

You can find information on how the plotter works in its print driver.

Of course, the driver must exist for your OS; otherwise, it rarely supports unstable installations...

For your information, I can't even get the plotter started.
I don't even know which software to use to operate it.

I assume there is an installation CD included with the plotter?

Generally, you first install the software, and only after installing the management software do you connect and turn on the plotter.

The USB Bus detects a new device and looks for the management software in the previously installed drivers. If it was installed incorrectly, the detection cannot associate a driver with the device... and it gets stuck.

There should be a process in the manual for installing it.

artcut works well with vinyl cutting plotters
but it is in English

Hi

I'm Artcut, I threw them in the trash still wrapped because it was such crap

I have WinpcsignPRO, I recommend it

Sell your Artcut for 20 E and buy WinpcPRO, you won't regret it

Flocking is my job so ;)

Hello,
As for me, I acquired a used 'Vision Technologies' plotter (it's Chinese but not bad!) and I operate it with Artcut 200? (2002 or 2006) which is in English, but there is a French patch with the provided drivers, and it works very well. For me, it's the easiest!
In Artcut, there are settings for many plotters on the market.
For the USB without a USB port, I use a commercial serial/USB adapter.
USB port on the computer side and serial - RS232 side on the plotter.
Settings on COM3 (USB), otherwise if there's no USB then serial on COM2.
Make sure to have a standard m/f cable and not a null modem and others... otherwise it won't work!
These settings need to be adjusted in the window that appears in 'cut/plot' (of Artcut).

Hello,
we have also just acquired a "rabbit hx1360" plotter and the artcut 2009 software, everything is installed but the computer is unable to find the "correct output"
how did you manage?
