There is no need to install the driver<\/strong> when using Cutting Master, or Graphtec Studio, Graphtec Pro Studio, as well as recent 3rd party software such as Onyx, FlexiSign, Caldera, etc.<\/p>\n

Windows driver installation is ONLY necessary<\/strong> to update firmware, to use the Graphtec Cutter Plotter Controller, or to run a plotter from a software program that requires it. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This video will show you how to install a Windows driver, tips, potential issues, and solutions.<\/p>\n

POSSIBLE ISSUES<\/strong><\/h4>\n

#1 \u00a0ISSUE INSTALLING DRIVER ON WINDOWS 7<\/p>\n

\u00a0When an error window pops up during the driver install on Windows 7 saying \u201coperation has stopped\u201d<\/strong>, it is caused by the operating system its self. \u00a0Unfortunately, Graphtec Tech support can\u2019t help with this issue as it is related to the operating system.<\/p>\n

SOLUTION: Take the most up to date driver found on our website and have a PC technician install it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

#2 \u00a0SECURITY SOFTWARE IMPEDING THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOWS DRIVER<\/p>\n

In some instances, the end-user might not be aware that there are multiple security software programs running at the same time. These programs can cause issues while installing, or sometimes even downloading firmware. This video will show you how to find out what security software programs are running.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bxdIpBWeD7Q&t=1s” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width=”49%” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

If there are issues installing any Graphtec software, driver, or firmware from the Graphtec America website, it may necessary to temporarily disable any anti-virus or security software running in the background.

#3\u00a0 USB PRINTING SUPPORT ICON SHOWS UP INSTEAD OF WINDOWS DRIVER ICON<\/h4>\n

\n

After the driver is installed, if the plotter is connected and turned-on but it shows up as USB printing support icon like below:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

At this point the installation is not<\/strong> complete, the cutter PC will not<\/strong> communicate until the driver installation is completed.<\/p>\n
