Foison vinyl cutter c24 communication settings

If you cannot get your cutter working, check that you've followed these steps carefully.

1) Turn your cutter off, and plug it into a free USB port on your computer. The new hardware wizard should appear, or if you've already done this, it should go "Bing Bong"

2) On the cutter, Keep hitting "Menu" until you see the setting for "Baud." The value should read 09600/38400. If it does not, use the arrow keys to make that so. Then, hit mode until you see normal screen FOISON.

3) Make a note of the Com port and set the flow control. To do this: Go to Start, and then Run. In the box enter:

devmgmt.msc

or right click "my computer"--properties--device manager---ports.Then, hit OK.

4) Hit the plus sign next to "Ports COM And LPT"

5) You should see "USB Serial Adapter", Right click on this and go to "Properties"

6) From there, select "Port Settings".Adjust the Boud Rate as per cutter setting. Set the flow control to "X-ON/X-OFF"

7) Hit "Advanced", Make a note of the Com Port, and if possible change it to something 1-4 if they're not in use.

8. Hit apply and OK to leave those menus. Close device manager.

9) Open Flexi, use the "T" on the left hand side to type a couple of letters.

10) Go to File, then hit "Cut/Plot"

11) This opens the Cut Plot screen. In the top left you should see CM-24 @ com x or CX-24 @ com x. The x needs to match up with the com port we noted earlier. If it does not:

12)Hit the properties button under theCM-24 @ com x drop down box. Select the right hand most tab. It has a picture of something that looks like a microphone.

13) At the top, change the com port to match yours. Hit OK

14) At the bottom, make sure "Flow Control" says "X-ON/X-OFF"

15) Hit "Send" on the cut plot screen. Your cutter should come to life.
