Cutting plotter 721 — Windows 10 driver guide

Compatibility Mode:

• Right-click the driver installer .exe → Properties → Compatibility.
• Select Windows 7 or Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
• Check Run as administrator.
• Then install.

Step‑by‑step setup (Windows 10)

1. Connect the cutter and power it on.
2. If using USB, open Device Manager → look for a COM/USB‑Serial device to identify the bridge chip.
3. Install the correct driver:
   • FTDI: use FTDI’s Windows 10 driver from ftdichip.com.
   • Prolific PL2303: use Prolific’s Windows 10 driver (beware counterfeit chips; older drivers may be blocked).
   • CH340: use the CH340 driver (WCH) for Windows 10.
4. Confirm which COM port Windows assigned: Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT).
5. In your cutting software, set connection type to Serial (COM), select the assigned COM port, baud (commonly 9600 or 38400 — check cutter manual), and protocol HP‑GL.
6. If using a legacy vendor printer/plotter driver (Goldcut or Windows plotter driver), ensure it’s configured to the same COM port and set to HP‑GL/plotter language.
7. Test with a simple cut job or send an HP‑GL file. If software fails, try another cutting program (SignBlazer Elements, VinylMaster trial, Inkscape + plugin).

Solution 1: The USB Driver Installation (Most Common)

Most modern 721 cutters connect via USB. To make Windows 10 recognize the machine, you need the correct USB-to-Serial driver.

1. Check the Chipset: Look at the back or the inside circuit board of your plotter. You will likely see a USB port. In Device Manager (see below), you can identify the chipset. Most generic plotters use a CH340 or HL-340 chipset, or occasionally an FTDI chipset. cutting plotter 721 driver windows 10

2. Download the Driver:

• For CH340/HL-340 (Most common): Search online for "CH340 Driver Windows 10" or visit the official Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics website. Download the CH341SER.EXE setup file.
• For FTDI: Search for "FTDI CDM Driver" if the CH340 driver doesn't work.

3. Install the Driver:

1. Download and unzip the driver file.
2. Run the SETUP.EXE file as Administrator.
3. Click the Install button.
4. Plug in your Cutting Plotter 721 to the USB port.

4. Verify the Connection:

1. Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the section labeled Ports (COM & LPT).
3. You should see something like USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM3). Note the COM number (e.g., COM3, COM4, COM5). You will need this number for your cutting software.
