HOW TO INSTALL THE VIRTUAL LCD FOR A GCC CUTTER.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are getting a lot of tracking/bunching issues on the GCC, you are probably not utilizing the VLCD for blade pressure.  Every time you power on your GCC and connect it to a PC, you should open the VLCD and adjust your blade pressure, depending on what type of material you are cutting.  As a general guide: Standard materials – 80 / Particle Glitter – 110 / Rhinestone Stencils – 130

First, insert the disk and open the AutoRun.exe.

From there, you will see this screen.  Move your mouse over the appropriate cutter, and click on “Accessories”

 

This will open up a Windows Explorer folder with the following files:

Move the VLCD2 and the usbapi.dll to your desktop (copy/paste).  When changing materials, you will need to double click the VLCD2 icon.  From that interface, you can select your plotter connected from the drop down menu and adjust the cutting pressure as follows:

Standard materials – 80

Particle Glitter – 110

Rhinestone Stencils – 130

 

You should change you cutting pressure in this software before sending a project to the cutter from your design software.
