Cut Rite setup to receive from Promob

IMPORTANT: The files available for download in this article are for example only, the label setup must be done by a specialized Cut Rite technician.

1. The *.csv file generated inside the Promob must be placed on the machine that contains the Cut Rite;

The *.csv file is optimized and sent to the machine via pen-drive or network;

2. The images must be generated in the c:\bmp\ folder, on the saw machine's computer;

These images are generated in the indicated path, in a subfolder created by the design, and their name is composed with the Customer Data and Space. If the folder is not network-mapped, it is necessary to copy all the files from the c:\bmp\ folder and transfer them to the disconnector.

EXAMPLE:

c:\bmp\Joao_Cozinha\Cut_Rite
c:\bmp\Maria_Sala\Cut_Rite

In the example, the assembly of the path with the words Jose and Maria left the name of the folder created by the user.

The path c:\bmp\ left the tag path change set to be fixed.
