8. Set up Inkcut connection

Depending on how you've connected the vinyl cutter, here is how to connect Inkcut to the vinyl cutter.

8.1 Use the USB port

In Inkcut, go to the 'Configure device | Connection':

• Type: Parallel port
• Port: printer manufacturer descriptor printer product descriptor (/dev/usb/lp0)

8.2 Use the COM port

In Inkcut, go to the 'Configure device | Connection':

• Type: Serial port
• Port: ttyUSB0. If you cannot select ttyUSB0, you've used the wrong USB cable coming out of the vinyl cutter :-)
• Baudrate: 38400

Why do you use the serial port?

Because it was the first one that worked for me.

Please contribute if you want to document how to connect a laptop to the vinyl cutter using a parallel connection.

Use the serial port with a baudrate of 38400. If you cannot select ttyUSB0, you've used the wrong USB cable coming out of the vinyl cutter
