The Spooler targets to aid in the design-to-production process of clients subscribed to SignCut Pro 2's Premium Edition. 

Companies that have separate locations and personnel for design and production can assign a maximum of 4 computers per subscription that shall act as "file senders" where all design files will originate. While connected under the same network, one designated computer at their production area can be installed with the SignCut Spooler to act as a "file receiver" of these designs. This same Spooler computer will be connected to the plotters that will execute the cutting jobs.

To set up a dedicated Spooler computer, you will need to download the SignCut Pro 2 installer from this link and follow the instructions below. Once done, the Spooler shall be ready to receive your cut files from the designer's SignCut Pro 2. 

1. Run the scpro2.exe installer and agree to the terms and conditions. 

2. Mark a check on "SignCut Spooler" in the next dialogue box that will appear.

3. Complete installation then launch the SignCut Spooler.

4. Setup your cutter by clicking on the Add a New Machine button (spooler icon). 

5. Select your cutter's correct output device and match the baud rate on the machine.
