Hardware Installation (PC and MAC)
Mutoh Cutter can be operated on either a PC or a Macintosh.
On the PC it will connect to either the 25 pin or 9 pin shaped connectors that
have pins sticking out of them on the back of your computer. The most
user guides have a pin out diagram but a 'standard' "null modem"
cable will work nicely. Always buy one that has 25 pin connectors on
both ends and if necessary use a standard mouse serial adapter to step the
25 connector down to the 9 pin connector. Some Mutoh plotters may
have a Centronics interface card in them and they can then be connected to
any LPT port on a PC and utilize a standard parallel cable.
On the Mac it will connect to either the modem or printer ports and a special
cable is required. You will need to purchase a cable which is specific
for the computer on which you wish to use it.
One source is 'Connect-It' Cable, call 1-800-627-3901. Specify the plotter
model and the computer.
