With the left and right arrow buttons, we will adjust the force to 90 grams, and with the up and down arrows, the speed to 400 millimeters per second. Use the blade holder’s golden ring to lock the adjustment, then load it back into your cutter. Before we proceed with test cutting, unload the cutter’s blade and adjust it by twisting, up to where it is as tall as a paper’s thickness.
With the machine now prepared in SignMaster, click Done and close the Send to be Cut window. For Specialist cutters, set the Port Type to Direct COM Port with the Port Name set to USB-SERIAL. In checking if SignMaster does recognize your cutter, go to the Connection tab and change the Port Type to Direct USB Port, then set USB Port to your cutter, which may appear with a complex name, though with only one device selectable, this will in fact be the cutter. Make sure your Vinyl Systems cutter is selected in the Select Model section and click its Properties button. Click the blade icon on the top toolbar then click Send to Cutter. Open SignMaster and load a sample document. Simply click the Install button on this window to install the Specialist drivers, and a pop up message will appear noting that installation is complete. If you are installing SignMaster for a Specialist cutter, a window will pop up after SignMaster finishes installing, which is titled DriverSetup. After SignMaster’s installer is complete, plug in the cutter’s power and USB cords to their proper outlets, then switch on its power. Some preferences will be to your choice, such as what measurement units to display in SignMaster, the Install COM Port Driver checkbox optional for Edge/ Evo cutters (make sure it is ticked when installing SignMaster for any Specialist cutter), and most importantly the cutter model to select for driver installation. Once you’ve downloaded the SignMaster installer on your computer, extract the folder inside its ZIP file, and open the installer to proceed through the setup, using your activation code when needed.
We must first note that Vinyl Systems cutters and SignMaster can only operate on a Windows computer, with no Mac support available at this time.īefore doing anything to the cutter itself, we will need to install the SignMaster software, provided with every Vinyl Systems cutter as a digital download with activation code. Have you recently purchased a Vinyl Systems cutter and are looking for some help getting started? Fortunately, the setup process for all Vinyl Systems cutters of the Specialist, Edge, and Evo lines are nearly identical, with only a few extra or differing steps for each machine.
