ULS-25E vector help?

Hello,

So the laser works great. Fully functional.

But for the love of god I can't get it to do any vector type actions.

It goes into raster mode just fine. That works.

But I can't cut anything because it won't do vectoring.

I have an SVG file I want to cut, its all dimensioned and sized properly.

the manual says to use 0.001" lines to detect vectoring. Okay, did that.

In the print driver I have black set to vector, or raster/vector, neither work.

When I try to send the job, it gets there, but instead of having the power settings, everything is at zero and it just beeps when I hit 'start'

Does anyone have any experience with these machines that can tell me what I am doing wrong? I just want to cut some plywood parts..

Nevermind, fixed it. Inkscape is just dumb.

Make sure your vectors are always closed, most controllers I've used will accept a file with open vectors without error, but when you go to run the job it'll just finish instantly.

Hello, I had read your previous message in regards to your ULS 25-e laser engraver.
I currently have a ULS 25-e myself, I am having a little trouble starting the laser machine once I have sent over a file to engrave.
Could you please let me know if you could be able to assist me with the startup for running a laser job? I can pay you for your services, just let me know if you could assist me?
Waiting for your reply, thanks!

I'll help how I can!

What is your setup? What kind of computer, that sort of thing? What cable are you using to link it to the laser?

Hello, the software I have is coreldraw x6.
I have a lenovo laptop model #7757
I am using a usb convertor cable that is attached to
the parallel port from the laser machine.
I tried to run a job this evening and seem to have everything
ready to run except when I push print on computer the printer
reads: error-printing. Do you know anything that might
cause this? Can I reach you on email?
Waiting for your reply. Thanks!

sure, send an email to itman496@gmail.com

talk to you there

I've heard of USB to parallel port adapters not usually working with lasers. They don't usually provide all the signals required.

Hello, would I need to run a computer that has a parallel port?
What would you suggest?
Thanks!

Do you have one you could try at the least? Just eliminate the USB-parallel adapter as the issue if anything.

Hello, I noticed there is a smaller parallel port underneath the large parallel port on my laser machine. If I could use this smaller parallel port, my laptop has the same small port.
Would this be something worth trying?
