Sept 3, 2011 HI, has anyone a driver setup file with drivers for Win XP that I could obtain kindly? I got this machine, but no software for it. It looks clean and looks like it could be a GO! As far as working.
I'm hoping to load it up and then find a sign profile cutting software like ArtCut or FlexiStart 10 (with built-in contour cutting) and get into burning up some vinyl to learn how to contour cut; maybe even in register with pre-printed inkjet output from another 24' wide machine. The Company whop makes it has like ZERO support online, yet.I hear that it was an OK built starter unit! I snapped it up used to see what I can learn. 'Appreciate any driver setup file links or let me know if you have a workable file to email me too. 'Happy to return the favour to another Signs 101 Forum user in return. If you are looking to contour cut on this machine you are probably going to get your feelings hurt.
It is a low cost lower end Chinese cutter and has very poor tracking and if I am not mistaken it does not support contour cutting. From all I've read and my personal experience helping a friend who bought one because of the low price.these machines are little more then inexpensive starter vinyl cutting machines and I would not advise anyone who intends to run any kind of serious sign business to come within a 100 yrds. Of one of these problem makers/cheap vinyl cutters. The reason it looks clean is probably because whoever bought it didn't have to use it long before they dumped it on you to avoid problems.
Thanks kindly for our input! I appreciate your bluntness and experience as well-honestly! By contour cutting, I mean being able to cut some very basic and repeated shapes across the width of a self-adhesive inkjet-friendly vinyl material that has been previously inkjet printed. Nothing extraordinarily complex as far as intricacy goes, and maybe even just basic circles, ovals and rectangles as well at times; to separate (peel) a decal from it's backing material after it has been printed and cut. I appreciate your advice on it being far from a professional machine. For the peanuts that I paid, and with it having a nice stand and roll feed assist, and with freight.I managed to do it for under 200-bucks.
M hope is to LEARN first, and begin using a good starter-software-kit that in 6 months to a year, I can choose a real machine to run with-if I infact like operating the equipment and can generate revenues from it. My hope is that perhaps Corel can be the driving software (at this point), and another vector importing software can drive the plotter. That's it in a nutshell for baby-steps right now. My other tooling in the part-time gig are much higher quality equipment. This puppy just came along as a kind of bonus as far as timing and price goes. 'An attractive intro-point to design/cut software, and with my marrying an identical sized inkjet printer with this back-end device. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to share with me re; your experience.

Creation Ct630 Driver Windows 7 For Android
A Eon Media,LLC Company Signs101 Links.
Dear all, Picked a P-Cut up on Saturday and been happily chopping graphics out for most of the weekend. Works fine, no issues setting it up however I can see where many may struggle as it's not exactly plug and play! Here's the how to guide to setting up a PCut on Win2K/XP/Vista: 1.
Plug the cutter into the PC, install whatever driver it came with to get the USB/Serial adapter working. Navigate to Device Manager and disable Com2 (right click, disable) if already present. Double click the USB Com Port and set as follows: Bits Per Second: 9600 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: Hardware Click Advanced, set as follows: Com Port Number: Com2 USB Transfer Sizes: Receive = 4096, Transmit = 4096 Latency Times = 1MS Minimum Read/Write Time Out = 0MS Serial Enumerator = Ticked Serial Printer = Ticked Cancel If Power On = Ticked Event On Surprise Removal = Ticked Set RTS On Close = Ticked Click OK and OK again.
Close Device Manager 4. Open what ever cutting software you wish to use and set it up as follows: Cutter = Creation PCut CT630 Serial Port/Com Port = Com2 Com Port Speed = 9600 Flow Control = Hardware 5. Check the port speed on the cutter is set to 9600. Job done - it'll work no problem. Took me about 30 mins to set it up and have it working including digging an old PC out to drive it and building the stand.
Hopefully this'll help anyone else out who's stuck in the future. Have to say for anything less than industrial use I can't see anyone needing much more than a PCut - I've cut about 40m of 320mm now in a day and a bit and it's not even flinched. Even does the intricate bit around the shoe on the Good Year logo without a problem on a 150mm wide graphic. Best Regards Matt. Contrary to the first post, i run mine on com 3 with no problems to report. Com3 on a pc running WindowsXP, and Com3 on a laptop running Windows2000.
I also ran on Com2 on both machines also with no problems. All the Com port settings match my own. Blade offset (set in software).30 Pressure (set on cutter) 70 Speed (set on cutter) 40 If anyone's interested. I run it from an old Compaq laptop. The laptop really hasn't got the hard drive space, memory or speed for me to be able to 'work' with it, so i do all my design and other work on the PC, save the files as cut ready, and just open and cut the ready files from the laptop (wireless network). Matt Faulks wrote:Currently running W2KP on the machine which is driving the cutter. Works fine after a reboot etc.
Also ran on Vista and XP with no problems. As long as the ports are configured properly the P-Cuts seem to work fine on anything. When you reboot does it just not see the Serial adaptor and required unplugging/replugging to get it to detect?
Cheers Matt Yep thats the issue when I reboot it does not see the serial adaptor and It takes loads of faffing about to get it to see it, do you know what the issue is? If possible I would recommend com2 or 4 for a cutter, Windows doesn't share ports well and can cause some issues. Com1 is almost always in use and if you have an internal modem that is normally allocated com3. If your PC has real com ports I would disable these in the computer bios, if they're not available to Windows it shouldn't allocate any resources to them. Its not unusual for Windows to report com1 - 15 in use especially if you like to connect your mobile phone at anytime - mobiles are normally loaded as modems and allocated a com number, but XP fails to remove the resources when you unplug - XP will then allocate another com number next time you connect it. ArtCut only has the option for com1 or com2 and if may prove difficult to convince XP you need to use one of these ports - XP thinks it knows best.ummm.
Pcut Ct630 Software
SignCut and Signblazer have more port options and may make it easier to find a port that really is free. Littlelou wrote:Thank you for the instructions, they'll be very useful. I've got a problem with my Creation P Cut 630 where by I've lost the original CD that came with it containing the driver and the downloadable one from Signwizard isn't working. I bought it from them at the beginning of the year but I'm not having much joy getting in touch with them. Would anyone have an alternative source for the driver?
Any help would be really appreciated as I feel like I'm banging my head up a wall at the moment! Would you like me to copy my cd with the drive and I can post it to you? Pm me your address and I'll send it of next week.

Time flys when your having fun Anyway just been though the set up as the first post in this thread and.
I get this running Sign Blazer Elements I'm on windows vista (64 bit) now I'm thinking that its the 64bit that's the issue ( i had a modem that would not run on 64bit) but worked fine on a 32 bit) oh its a PCut ct630 this is my first vinyl cutter I'm more used to making cast metal signs any ideas chaps? EDIT ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to go back the the device manager and enable com 2. This is my first post so sorry for jumping straight in without saying hi but I'm in a bit of a panic. I bought a pcut CT630 secondhand on ebay & I'm running out of time to return it if it's faulty. I've been trying for the life of me to get it going with no joy.
I have a Dell inspiron 530 desktop running XP Pro & it has no Coms ports. When I plug in the USB cable I get the 'does not recognise' message & in the device manager it shows up as unknown device in the list of USB's. After trolling through info & following loads of instructions, I phoned Pc World & the guy reckoned I would need a Startech 2 Port 16550 Serial PCI Card. Does anyone know if this will solve the problem? It seemed a bit strange to me considering I wouldn't be plugging anything into it but just using it to create coms ports in the device manager. Any help much appreciated, cheers Sandy. Sandydruimfin wrote:Hi, thanks.
My Pcut is just USB. I'm slowly starting to get my head round it all after reading a few more posts. I think if I could get the Found New Hardware Wizard to launch I might just be able to nail it. Tried the Add New Hardware Wizard from the control panel but no joy there either.
Any idea how to get the wizard to launch? I have the user manual & software disk & followed all instructions to a T so why is am I having so much trouble?? Did you get/install the driver? Although I am very happy with my cutter & Signblazer software (as I don't do that much work on it) it is always a complete pain to install and get it running. I had problems when installing it on windows 7 and more recently to get it cutting from the old computer that I set-up next to the P-Cut.
After installing the driver and connecting it via USB it somehow came up as COM5 that I had to select for cutting. Don't ask me why (when I cut from my laptop it is COM 4, even when connected to the USB). So my advice is: throw all logic out of the window and try to select every port in the list in the Signblazer software. Eventually something will work.hopefully.
A lot of cursing and swearing during this process helps too (to manage the frustration!!!!) Good luck with it! Yea I've Downloaded the drivers straight from the FTDI site.
My PC has no Com ports, only USB's. When I plug in the cutter it shows up in device manager in the list of USB's as 'Unknown Device'.
When I right click it's properties it says 'no drivers are installed for this device' when I try & update driver it tells me 'The wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed'. If I go to Add/remove programs, the FTDI CMD Driver Package is there. (I'm guessing the USB serial converter is somewhere in this package??) How do I get the serial converter to create Virtual Com Port on my machine? I've never had this much trouble installing anything in my life! Been at this for days now & I seem to be going round in circles. PLEASE Help I think I'm going mad!
It's a Dell desktop on running XP Pro. I've contacted the person I bought it from but the only info he gave me is stuff I've been trying already. The cutter seems fine, it runs through a few bits of info then displays Online.
I've downloaded the drivers from the FTDI site but I'm still unable to create or install a USB serial converter. I think if i could create a VCP in device manager it would help a great deal. I'm about to un-install everything for the 3rd time & start over. Looks like another 3am job tonight so I'll be here & open to any suggestions. Chris Wool wrote:with he converter pluged in but not the plotter and the converter drivers loaded, it should show up in device manager. Under ports usb - serial com??
Set you plotter software to output to that com no plug in plotter. Out of about 4 usb converters only one worked out of the box I've downloaded this ( 2.08.08) to my PC on the understanding that the converter is in the package?? They show up in Add Remove programs & I pesumed they would load or activate themselves when needed. If not, how do I get it to show up as a (VCP) USB - Serial port? I've had that pdf file on my desktop for a while but can't get past page 7 Figure 2.3. Just can't find the path to it. I think we might be getting somewhere here if I could find the path to the driver package.
I'm running XP with service pack 3 & can't find any info passed service pack 2. The cable is just a regular USB cable, same as the one on my printer.
I'm actually using my printer cable just now to check it's not a cable issue. The cutters software disk when opened has a USB Driver folder & Vinyl Cutter Ver4.13 folder. When I open the Ver 4.13 folder I get 3 folders, casmate to pcut, Easysend, PLT Draw & 2 pdf info files. I also have Artcut 2005. I think I'll be needing a wee holiday to de stress when or if I get this done. It is plugged in correctly. The actual USB / Serial converter we are talking about is inside the plotter so in effect it looks like any other USB device.
The external USB / Serial converter's we have been talking about are for when the plotter has the 9 pin serial port on the back. If you have the drivers installed I would imagine you have to mess about with the virtual com ports.
Deleting COM2 seems a favourite tip and make the software use COM4. The actual drivers may be working, it just the cutting software that is not set up correctly. I would download some demos of other cutting software to try.
They might find the plotter. Might be a good idea to go back to the beginning and start again, uninstall everything you have installed and forget about the internet. Try installing the USB drivers that are on the disk rather than from an external website. Then install your cutting software, sure I have read that people with P cuts use artcut so you could try that.
If David says the usb to serial converter is built into the plotter then that is probably the case, forget about FTDI drivers as you don't even know your converter uses this chipset. Hi, apologies for dragging this up, but I'm currently getting nowhere. My machine is according to the sticker a cr630. So far, I have installed drivers and have both Sb elements, (trial version) and Artcut 2009, on my laptop (running XP) and on my other computer, Signgo and artcut, running through either windows 7 or XP (older version than on my laptop) I'm mostly on the laptop at the moment, and if I go through the checklist at the beginning of this post, I'm fine up untill you set the advanced setting on comm 2. I don't have any of the options listed. However, in my USB controllers drop down, the first on the list is 'Creation USB Board'. If I double click I get the properties which tell me the device is working properly and lists the drivers installed.
In signblazer I can set the plotter (although there is only a CT630, not a CR630) and assign it to USB, but it still won't cut. Anyone any ideas?
Many thanks. There are 2 types of creation usb cutters. Those that use FTD based virtual serial ports. And those that use Creation USB Board technology I write the cutter drivers for a certain company, wont name names. I spent 2 weeks over the phone with a manufacturer writing our driver. We had to write a custom Dll to do very tricky read/write calls to a manufacturere supplied PcutUSB.dll which communicates with the Creation USB Board.
You dont just send data, you have to read constantly from the machine and only send when you get 1 certain flag. I just now got of the phone with an end user who had a CR1300 with a Creation USB Board port. We were able to sucessfully cut. It may be that the software you are using does not have a driver that can communicate with PCutUSB.DLL What makes things curious is that the CR630, and CR1200 are supposed to be FTD based while the CR730 and CR1300 where supposed to be Creation USB Board based.
Maybe they have come out with new models that i am not aware of. That driver was a pain to write as i didnt have the cutter and it all had to be done by emailing revised dlls to the manufacturer for weeks Did you install with a CD? Is there a PCutUSB.DLL in your windows/system32 folder? Find out if your software can talk to PCutUSB.DLL To my understanding, there is no way to talk to the cutter without using that DLL. But i could be wrong.
If they have newer cutters, mabe they have a newer way to talk to it. Go to windows/control panel/ etc where it lists your usb controllers, does Creation USB Board appear and dissapear if you disconnect /reconnect the USB cable a few times. It should dissapear/ reappear each time you do. Is there an exclamation mark or question mark beside it? All i can tell you is that our software s#g#l#b, talks to a manufacturer supplied DLL call PcutUSB.Dll to talk to Creation USB Board ports. But even if you had this Dll, your software needs to know how to talk to it.
See if your software has a cr1300 driver and use it. Our cr630 driver tries to use FTD. Our CR1300 driver uses pcutusb.dll.
Maybe your software supplies the dll in its own folder. I would have thought the creation CD would install it in windows system32 Or does a Com port appear and dissapear every time you plug/unplug the usb cable? If that happens, its an FTD device. Did some googling on creation usb board.
Seems like our competiters also use pcutusb.dll for the 'New' cr630. Assuming thread on a tshirt forum I think you need a CR driver and not a CT driver.
I think i am going to add a new driver to our software, or change our existing CR630 to use pcutusb instead of ftd. Think i am going to have 2 CR630 drivers, one for older, one for newer machines - now that i actually look, the manufacturer sent us some code that we compile that creates a file called pcutusb.dll We didnt change the default name. So you are probably looking for pcutusb.dll in your signmaking programs main folder. Assuming that they also are using the default name. Also assuming of course that they recieved the code from the manufacturer in the first place.
Back on this and still no joy where would I find the dll file, if its there? And if its not, where do I get it from? Also, I've just downloaded an application file from the US cutter site which says its compatble with windows XP/ Vista and 7, but I'm not sure what its supposed to do or were the best place to put it is? The file names are; cdm20600.exe cdm20814setup.exe any ideas on this? I really am going round in circles now. Oh and the other problem is the cr630 isn't listed in the choice of cutters on signblazer? I think you have to contact the maker of your signmaking software.
LIke us, they may have recieved some code which they will have had to modify to make it work with thier program. Our PcutUsb.dll will only work with our program as we had to modify it to work with ours. Every other software maker will have had to do the same. They are not interchangable. I dont believe there is any kind of generic serial to Creation Pcut board driver in existance, but here may be. Do you have it working on any of your computers with any software Does your software have a CR730 or CR1300 driver. Why dont you google I`m in Tears Creation CR630 vinyl cutter Error: LoadLibrary PcutLib.DLL Will take you to a web site discussion forum.
Knowledgable person there explains the differance between the 2 type of CR630 machines. There is also a dealer of CR630 machines in the UK there who seems willing to help but maybe only if you purchased it from him. There are FTD based CR630 and there are Non FTD based CR 630s Maybe an email to the dealer might clear things up. If you have the non ftd based machine, then only those Signmaking software companies who recieved the PCutLib software developer kit and wrote code to use PCutLib.dll can talk to the machine. I'm only guessing here as I run a graphtec machine myself but have set up a couple of these machines for other people. If you bought the machine second hand and it was running previously then the software you already have must support the plotter.
Think Frank is talking about newer machines that have a usb convertor fitted in the machine itself rather than those running from a cable converter. You need to make sure you have installed the correct FTDI driver software. The one you need to download and install is the VCP driver. This will create a virtual com port which acts the same as any other com port on your machine. The com port will be the next number in line so if you already have 2 com ports showing it will come up as com3 You may need to make some manual changes to configure it correctly, think they have been talked about before. You can then set your cutting software to com3 or what ever number the port is.
Last time i will annoy anyone about this. CR cutter come in 2 flavours There are cutters with built in FTD chips and those that are pure USB 2.0 Dont know if web site names are allowed.
Go to Cutterpros.com. They have a download section for manuals and instruction. Read the CR730 stuff. After, reading it, you will say 'hey, this is exactly what my CR630 is doing' It shows that it installs as Procut Cutter USB Board under USB and not as an FTD com port under Ports Com and LPT. It also gives instructions to set up flexi to cut to PcutUsb and not to a com port. Download signlab 9 trial. Install our CR730 driver from the Creation folder.
Yes the CR730 and not the CR630 In Plotter Setup in Signlab, make sure port is External DLL Try cutting something. If it cuts, then your CR630 doesnt have an FTD chip in it. Our CR730 and our CR1300 driver cut to a dll call pcutusb.dll which in turn send data to pcutlib.dll which sends it to the USB port. Flexi 8 also has a CR730 driver which does the same thing.
I bet you either have a CR730 with a CR630 label, or the manufacturer is now building CR630 cutters with Creation USB boards. The tip off is that when you plug/unplug the USB cable, it is Creation USB board under USB that appears and dissapears and not a com port under ports com and lpt Note, Our code was written for the new CR730/1300 cutters sold in the US from 2009. It may not be the same company/hardware sold in the UK. But there is a 50/50 chance it will cut.
If it does, then that means you have done everything right so far. All you need is software that knows how to talk to it.
Both Flexi and Signlab cut to PcutUsb.dll which shunts to pcutlib.dll There is no ftd or serial port involved in any way. Sorry for being verbose. Just trying to help. Never apologise for trying to help folk overcome a problem Frank. Your help and advice is very much appreciated, thank you!
As for mentioning websites. You can refer any website worldwide if it aids in helping someone. The only websites we do not allow are other web forums or ebay.
A supplier can chip in anytime they can help advise a member, or simply want to get involved in a discussion. But cannot promote their products, services or ask to be contacted. However, if a post is made by someone asking about your products, services, company etc then the supplier is more than welcome to come in posting and talking about the specific product, issue etc till their hearts content. They cannot ask to be contacted though or link back to their website as this would take the solution to the thread / issue 'off-site' and the post becomes unfinished/dead, as a result. Hope this makes sense. And thanks again for your time, posts frank.
Frank, think it must have been me that's upset you, if it was then I appologise, never my intention to upset anyone, especially people who know far more about this sort of stuff than me. No Need for him to download or buy any new software though, if the set up he has was working before he cleaned all the junk out of the computer then he must already have software that can talk to the plotter regardless of how it communicates with it. On the other hand if buying your software sorts his problem out then I suppose thats one way to fix the problem. Sorry guys, not upset.
I was just trying to help and also to learn. If Hugh was able to get it going via my suggestions that would tell me that there is a new type of Creation CR630 to match the 730 I did jump the gun and have added a Creation CR630 USB driver to our program. I have also renamed the existing driver to CR 630 HPGL via serial. Hope Hugh reports back one way or the other. Never my intent to promote anything. Only mentioned our trial version because i have never been able to find a trial version of Flexi.
Martin is right, He must have some software somewhere that was able to talk to it. Will i be embarassed if it turns out its a regular FTD cutter. Right firstly I would like to thank everyone for responding and trying to help, please take a bow! Secondly, the machine is now up and running, in a way that I don't fully understand and may even surprise a few people. Here goes, Windows 7, running Signgo. Set up as a GPS camera(!) using found new hardware, but now running through comm4 port.
I take no credit for this, a friend of mine took the machine away, got it working on his comp, then set mine up to match, so as I say, I'm still not sure just how it happened! Thanks again.
