2. Next, select the Properties button to the right of the Cutter list. 
3. Under the Port tab, select Printer Port and select the Expert 24 in the pulldown list to the right and select OK.

• If the cutter is not listed, normally this means that the driver is not installed on the computer and will need to be installed. Note: The driver is installed when GreatCut is installed on the system.

4. Verify the connection by sending a test file from Design Studio to the cutter. 

• If it did not connect, go to Devices and Printers in your Windows Control Panel. The Expert 24 should be listed under Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Expert 24 and select Printer Properties. This opens the properties window for the cutter. Select the Port tab and verify that the cutter is paired with a USB port.
