Set up Inkcut connection

In this step of this vinyl cutter to T-shirt manual, we setup an Inkcut connection, from our laptop to the vinyl cutter.

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

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)

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

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
