Hello all
Over the week-end i came to aquire a SIGNMAKER IVb. i BELEIVE IT WAS MADE BY GERBER. IT DOES WORK AS PLUGGED IT IN AND TYPE IN A NAME AND IT DID IT'S THING. wHAT I AM WONDERING IS WHERE WOULD I FIND A MANUAL FOR THIS MACHINE. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW TO CAHNGE FONTS AND SUCH. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

looks like your machine is a 1985 model and since it is over 22 years old...I would doubt you will find a manual...but who knows... as to a driver...this came out in infancy of computers...about the time of windows 1.0...but call the company

oh man - i cut my teeth in the sign business on an old 4B talk about a blast from the past.....the last i heard, gerber wouldn't discuss the 4b with you (with OR without a credit card in hand... ) and the lastest version of windows that it would run with was 98SE. you might be able to find fonts for it on ebay or from somebody who has one and wants to part it out. good luck!

I actually have a manual for this because I still own my old machine. I only use it in a pinch anymore but would be happy to copy the manual for you. It has all the basics in it.
Quite possible, the loudest vinyl plotter on the planet! I started with a shop that had four of them and I was deaf at the end of every day. Fonts were hard to come by back then and were expensive. Each font had to be inserted into the machine. They looked like ''motherboards'' and I seemed to remember that you could only have a few fonts loaded at a time. Good luck and I hope you get that manual that was offered in an earlier post.
