Thanks for everyones advice.... I actually finally got my cutter working by the ole theory of if something doesn't work right... press a bunch of buttons till it does... and what do you know... it works fine now... believe it or not after a bit of adjusting it cuts very nicely... I also cussed...
I actually did buy the cutter new... but EVERYONE in their support team is japaneses or chinese and speaks broken english... plus the are from Canada... which makes it worse....
I honestly wouldn't have bought this thing if there were decent graphics guys around here... there are mainly sign...
I didn't buy this to go into sign making business... I bought this because we own a race team that consists of 4 cars and 2 trailers that need lettering... now around my parts they will charge you upwards around $500 per car to letter a race car... and $800 or better to do a race trailer... so...
ALAS! I have finally gotten my cutter to cut... well sort of...
I can transfer my Corel stuff over to Flexi and cut from Flexi... but...
for some reason the cutter doesn't do anything but cut a TON of lines in the vinyl ... it never actually cuts the lettering out that I asked it too... any...
I went this evening to get a DB9 COM Card... and apparently... laptops cannot take these cards according to the "GEEK SQUAD" at Best Buy... who actually at first had no idea what I was talking about... and apparently I cannot add a serial port to my laptop.... Basically he told me I have to buy...

I'm going to get a DB-9 COM CARD tonight... hopefully that will solve my port...
OK so basically i need a DB-9. So just out of curiousity is there any reason that hooking the RS232 cable into a Serial to USB adapter and running it through my USB won't work? Its how I run my regular printer.
Sorry I'm kinda lost completely on this... but i'm starting to understand it a bit...

I do not have a serial port on my computer... I don't think... sorry i'm kinda slow on this... I have 3 USB ports... one plug in that has 15 holes... and thats it... my cutter came with a 232C cord that plugs into a port on the cutter that is EXACTLY the same as my 15 hole port... but the...
My cutter is a Vinyl Master XY-300 .... my cutter came with a FlexiSTARTER program... which basically will do nothing... I've tried to cut from this program to just see how the cutter works... but I cannot get it to work... for some reason it says it can't find the port.... I also downloaded the...
Ok ... I'm thinking about buying CoCut or Sign Tools 3... my question is will I be able to easily add outlines and inlines and such when I add this? because basically I can't find anywhere in Corel Draw you can even add an outline to text.
OK excuse my french but i'm lost like a whore at church...
I just bought a cutter and now have bought Corel Draw 12...
I was told from the Corel Draw website that it was all I needed to get started designing and cutting my own graphics...
but now I'm being told I have to buy a seperate...
