Extend the printer port or paper out timeout to 10000 seconds in the printer setup for NT. This may or may not help. There was no effort made to make SuperCam compatible with Windows NT. Your best bet is to boot the box directly to DOS mode. SuperCam considers the box completely at it’s disposal, it is a real time machine control program. SuperCam was written it to be an embedded machine tool operating system dedicated to the operations of the attached computer controlled tool. The best way to play with SuperCam is to create desktop shortcut to it by using the Windows Explorer. Right click on the SuperCam.exe file and drag and drop on to the Desktop area of your computer, then select the “shortcut” option. Once the shortcut is on your desktop right click on it to set the properties of the shortcut. The Windows Shortcut Setup web page is a screen save of the important properties.
