Hey folks. I'm sure that this question has been answered in the past, but I can't find it. Have any of you hooked up a regular Parellel port or Printer cable from your computer to send programs to the controller? Basically, I have the lite version of Cimco Edit and I'm looking to send the code I just wrote straight from my computer to the machine. I don't have a floppy drive on the machine that I'm using now, so I'm trying to send it straight from my laptop.
One thing that I have noticed in the Cimco setup: it only allows me to use Com1 or Com 2, but the back of the Haas (VF-3) has a connection for a Printer cable which is normally LPT 1. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
