Solve : How do I make a cutter/plotter work on my computer??

Answer»

Hi, I came across this "Rabbit 1360, Cutting/Plotter that was very cheap so I bought it.

It has all the cables and a micro CD that I thought was the drivers to INSTALL it but it has no user manual in the box.

Now I know very little about the whole set up, except that others I've seen using these things USE programs like MS Word for text, Artcut, is a very popular program and Coreldraw for pictures.

Long story short, the cd didnt seem to be the drivers for it and I dont know how to add it to the computer.
Do I add it as a printer and see if I can try to send an image to it to print (cut the vinyl)?

When the computer starts up a screen asks for the drivers or search for drivers everytime but I still havent found anything to add it to the computer.
I've had the little CD in the drive so that it can search it for the drivers but no joy yet.

I joined a lot of forums to start scouring the planet for information. So THATS my next move.The mini-CD is indeed the drivers...open it in Explorer and list what the contents are...
PS...LOOK at it using the CD drive you have that's working...not the other one.How to use with Coreldraw: (you need drawing software)
