Web_Engraver Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Hi, I recently aquired a 1996 IS200 Unica & laptop loaded with software. Having trouble with sending jobs to machine. Has anyone a link to an instruction manual? Also does the inline dongle plug into the machine or printer port? Thought it would be same as my 2010 IS200!!

petercoulson Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 is it an IS200 or a Unica? A unica shouldn't have a dongle from what I remember it runs off it's own program. If it's run from a laptop it's probably an early IS200 but very early, the dongle that came with them was a parallel port one I think ands went onto the laptop with the machine plugged into that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercoulson Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Hmm that's a newer type panel so it is probably one of the early Unica machines that was converted to IS200 which they did a fair bit in those days so it should be a parallel port dongle unless a lot newer and a usb one from memory they were a little tricky to set up if it was the laptop that came with it though it should just work?

Original laptop corrupted. And Someone pulled the the program of it and put it on this other laptop !! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Ah that may be an issue, a very big one the original programs relied on DOS (again from memory) I'm afraid someone more in touch will have to say a good bet is to contact @Marino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
