Connecting laptop to cutter
Hi All
I`m thinking about getting a laptop, mainly to use when cutting jobs on site.
The new laptops are USB port, my cutter is parallel port. How can I connect the two?
Is there an adapter? Or can the laptops have a p/port installed. I know you can have a USB port put in a desktop base.
Is there an infer red adapter? I seem to remember someone telling me about this product! Can anyone else enlighten me on this.
becky.

Becky,
Try these folks:-
We use their adaptors for connecting our USB Apple computers to parallel cutters. Also Apple mini 8 pin din serial to Palm devices with 15 pin mini D connectors. They work well and we’ve had no problems.

thanks for that you guys.
Anyone else heard of the infra red connection – or was it in a dream( I do dream about some weird stuff)

We use a lot of wireless networking for our computers, but I also have never seen a cutter with an interface for it yet.
If wireless cutters ever come along I would suspect that they are more likely to be bluetooth rather than infra red, which is line-of-sight and very slow. Or maybe even 802.11g.
