Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Ioline SmarTrac signcutter.
This manual contains instructions and guidelines for setting up,
operating and maintaining your signcutter. The SmarTrac hooks
up to your system like a printer. Use design software to create your
designs and send files to the SmarTrac for cutting or plotting. The
following components are needed to cut designs:
 A Windows-compatible computer. The computer must be as-
sembled and installed correctly before you connect it by serial
or USB cable to the signcutter.
 Design software loaded into the computer according to the
manufacturer's installation instructions. If you have any ques-
tions about the computer or the software, you will need to
contact the manufacturer or your dealer. Most design software
provides drivers for Ioline signcutters. If you need assistance
with drivers, contact Ioline customer service.
 There is a specialized software program that comes with the
signcutter called the Ioline Control Center. This software utility
enables you to adjust signcutter settings and perform system
diagnostics.
 The signcutter will cut the graphic exactly as you have de-
signed it, from the material that you have loaded into the
SmarTrac. See table below for a list of compatible materials.
