  • Have found reverse gear on CT630

    Hi everyone.
    My name is Jason and I am from Perth, Western Australia.
    I have been using a CT630 connected to a PC for the past few months and everything runs fine. My software is WinPCsign Letter version 12 and my OS is XP Pro. Last week I connected my CT630 to a DELL Precision M50 using an ATEN UC-232A USB to Serial converter. I managed to get the software to recognise that the CT630 was there but the CT630 now runs in REVERSE. I then tried to connect the CT630 to a Toshiba Satellite 1110 with the same result. The ATEN UC-232A works perfectly on several other peripherals on both laptops. Can anyone offer a reason/solution? By the way, I found a post from MATT offering instructions for the setting-up of a P-CUT but strangely, most of the setitngs he mentions (USB transfer sizes, Latency Times, RW time out,Serial enumerator etc etc) don’t exist on my version of XP Pro.

    Regards

    Jason

    Hi mate, welcome to the mad house mate.

    Can’t help you on this unfortunately, I don’t run usb on any of my sign equipment. I think a few here do though, so someone may be able to help when they get back to work on monday UK time.

    I was born in Perth. Lived around leederville, subiaco, bunbury. My mums from Narrogin, and I still have family in wagin and pingelly….(not sure of the spelling though…)

    Welcome again

    welcome to the boards !!

    when you say its going in reverse, do you mean it’s printing the images in reverse ?

    i don’t print myself, but do recall a similar problem being posted once before, might have been just a cutter, but i think to get round the problem in the interim, the user just reversed the images before sendnig to the machine, and it then worked the right way around !

    not a permanent fix, but it might get you out of trouble for now ! though i guess you’ve probably thoguht of that !

    Hugh

    quote Jason Cole:

    If you’re connecting via USB, then plug the USB directly to the PC/Laptop, then those settings appear by doing the following:

    right click on ‘My Computer’
    select Properties
    select the Hardware tab and Devise Manager
    expand the Ports (COM+LPT) by clicking on the + sign next to it
    double click on the USB serial port
    select the Port Settings tab
    select Advanced

    If the port you’re using on the PC is a standard DB9 connector (9 pin D socket) then you’ll only get FIFO and RX/TX settings.

    I connect with USB, so cant help if you’re going down the DB9 route.
