S Class 2 - USB Class Configuration

To use multiple cutters on a single computer, it is crucial for the computer to distinguish between the different cutters. To achieve this, there is the option to define the logical USB port. The first 4 options below are available for this. It is possible to connect up to four Roll Cutters to one computer.

The following options are available:

• SUMMA USB port 1
• SUMMA USB port 2
• SUMMA USB port 3
• SUMMA USB port 4
• PRINTER UNI

The last option (PRINTER UNI) is intended for use with a printer server or for the cutter to emulate a printer. This option is usually used for sharing the cutter over a network. When using this option, it is not possible to query information from the cutter, e.g. the software cannot read the media size from the cutter.

To use the USB port, the USB driver needs to be installed from the Summa Website

Double-click the needed driver to start the installation and follow the wizard to complete the installation.

Use the following procedure to set the desired USB Class using the touch screen of the cutter:

1. Disconnect the USB cable from the cutter, power it on, and press Settings.

2. Press More.

3. Press Communication.

4. Press USB Class.

5. Select the desired USB Class and press Apply.

6. Power down the cutter and then turn it back on.

7.  Connect the USB cable directly from the cutter to the computer.

8. The computer will detect a new device. Follow the wizard to install the cutter for use with the new USB class.

• In case the USB Class used is “USB port 1”, “USB port 2”, “USB port 3” or “USB port 4”, then follow the wizard to install the cutter for use with the new USB class.
• In case the USB Class used is “Printer uni”, ignore the wizard to install a driver, and select the option to not install the driver in the future either. A new port “USB001” will be created which then can be used as a printer driver, or with a printer sharing device.
