This software is required when sending data from a Windows-based program to the CX-24/12. If you're using Windows, be sure to install
this driver.
Refer to the included Startup Manual and install them on your computer.
3-4 Port Setting
The CX-24/12 automatically detects the port used for connection to the computer.
However, if cutting data is not sent correctly, check the communication parameters for the driver and use the display menu on the CX-24/
12 to make the same settings as for the driver.
Checking the Communication Parameters for the Driver
Click [Start].
