I dont know if someone has asked this before but I want to know how I can get to work a Copam cp-2500 with a Mac. I just got it today and i wanted to make it work but no success. People talks about drivers to connect the cutter to the computer, but they only talk about PCs. In my case I dont know whats the big deal to connect the cutter to the mac computer via USB. I intalled singcut for importing my files from AI, but when i want to send it to the cutter by going to "cutout" nothing happens, the cotter does not move at all. That makes me think that there's no communication in between the cutter and the computer. Im attaching some pics of what i see on my screen. I know the cutter works because I already tried the test (the one that cuts the little circle and the square) I already download drivers like: FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_14 and md_pl2303H_HX_X_dmg_v1 which I have no idea if helped at all but that's all the info I could find. I bought a USB and serial adapter but I dont see any change on the devices.....
Copam Cp 2500 Usb Driver For Mac
Download Zip: https://tinurll.com/2vDAMs
I've been doing some reading on these forums about reference to the Copam CP-2500 and Flexisign 8.6 or above and trying to figure out why the Copam CP-2500 Flexi driver does not seem to work properly (actually finish the job and not freeze up in a fully powered up state and say "CUTTING" on the cutter display LCD scren) where as the driver for the DGI OM60 (which is very identical to the Copam CP-2500 when looking at the driver in Notepad++) DOES finish the job properly and actually finishes the job and the cutter powers down as normal. I haven't been able to nail things down yet or fix it, but it would seem to me the macro that they've written for the driver has some incorrect HPGL commands (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language - the language cutters and plotters speak) for the CP-2500 and correct for the DGI OM60. I'm attempting to try and fix this...but I could use some help if anyone is interested and still uses a Copam!
Anyhow, on Windows 7, if one looks in C:\Program Files (x86)\SAi\SAi Production Suite\OutputDrivers and then finds the files DGI.csm and USCutter.csm and opens both of them in Notepad++ or similar text editing software (Notepad ++ is free and awesome F.Y.I.) you'll find that the commands for the drivers are almost identical. You'll have to scroll to the proper sections however. Also, using Notepad++ allows one to open each driver in a tab and then if you flip between the tabs you can visually see the onscreen changes of text between the two drivers...like an old school animated drawing flip-book would. It becomes easy to notice pattern changes and visual differences. I suppose one could use a spreadsheet too and paste in the code for comparison. I'm not a big spreadsheet guy or I'd do that myself but I think I've captured and highlighted the changes accurately...have I not?
I have copied and pasted the macro information below and highlighted the two names and code differences to help us "humans" with visual separation. Red is different code, green is the same code. As you can see the difference is MINIMAL but obviously important. Since we didn't write the drivers for Flexi, I don't know if we can fix this properly, but any guesses on what the different lines actually mean? I am thinking lines 5 and 6 deal with cutter width or dimensions. In line 6 there is an 1800 vs a 1280000 which is unusual. Line 7 is just a name variable. Line 4 happens to be the one that is the most different and the comments at the bottom of the DGI driver are just that, comments...no biggy.
Anyhow, the answer to why one driver works with the Copam CP-2500 (the DGI OM-60 one works) and why the Copam CP-2500 driver itself doesn't completely work lies within these numbers...it's a bit of a riddle on how to fix it.

Instead of using UScutter Copam driver, look up in the Set up for COPAM 2500 (not under USCUTTER) it is different This is in my Flexistarter8.6 Have you tried the COPAM 2500, (not UScutter driver)? Go back to the top of the list under C Copam is it's own brand. My software lists both.

Another example, like for the Creation cutters, People were trying to use the UScutter Creation driver CR 630 to contour cut, they could not even get the toggle buttons to show up on their computer Flexi software, ,,, I learned this else where, it took CR 630G driver to work for contour cutting in Flexi ...
FYI, I have "just" finished trying a simulated manual contour cut with the Copam CP-2500 and a friend's copy of FlexiSign 8.6V2 Pro on my Windows 7 laptop with some success!!! I followed this SAI video tutorial
I just tried to contour cut with the driver you suggested, the Copam 2500 (not USCutter) and it cut, but froze and the end and though the cutter is still fully powered up and the LCD screen says CUTTING it's frozen and won't finish the cut. I will try the other variation again (USCutter) and see if it freezes as I expect it to.
Update: Yup, both USCutter Copam 2500 and the Copam 2500 (not USCutter) froze and hung up. They did start to work though. The NOT USCutter version worked better (got further along) than the USCutter version...

i have a dell xps running windows 7 and just recently purchased second hand a CP2500.i have tried my best to figure this out and spent many hours finding the appropriate drives and trying to find out how to connect the plotter to the driver that is on the computer. I do not know if i am in the way or just missing something. i have sure cuts pro and signgo pro when i try in sure cuts it responds with no cutter found.please help
i have that driver downloaded it just wont show up in my device manager where my PORT tab should be. it computer erorr at the moment then we will see what is next. i also am going to try and get it working on an older mac air since this is might not work according to dell.
used to use my copam 2500 on a dell - think it was a dimension 4700 - the driver will allow a chipset to show up in the devices - not the actual copam 2500 as I recall as it has a emulation chipset for the usb - if using serial than it should show up. unless you are using an off brand usb to serial converter
ok i have another question for the 10.7.5 mac air. i downloaded the drivers from the attached link what is the next step? i have installed the software and also downloaded signcut trail but it crashes before it even opens.SignCut quit unexpectedly.reopen crash again
back when I had the copam I am sure I used it originally with signblazer - free to download but windows 10 and I know Norton AV will delete it before you get to install because it had a crack installed after the owner died to get rid of a nag screen and it sees that as malware 2ff7e9595c
