    Switch to MAC

    I have a R31 running from LXi software. Everything works except my dad is switching our computers to MAC's as the Windows units start to die. my software bought and registered is windows version. Is there any way to run win software on the Mac. Like a program that allows this. I am looking for the most inexpensive way to way to be able to mate the two. I also have a PCut and Sign Blaster that might like the same.

    I have a wireless printer / scanner that works fine sending out printing jobs but when in Sign Blaster it will not trigger a scan. I get no action at all. This all worked fine until a new hard drive forced a reinstall. Any help?

    How to check and set communication settings for USB com ports

    Ok after trial and error and reload after reload with no results I finally found my original disc. I loaded it and still got a cannot initalize, tried different usb ports and on my third try I got the cannot find driveres. It asked if I wanted to search, I did they were found and it was calling this usb Com3. went back to the printer settings and switched to com3 and we are up and running. Now I also have inkscape and need to figure how sign blaster cuts off inkscape work but that is for another day.

    Attention Ken!!!! Today I received the cutter back. I unpacked it, loaded the software, registered, and attempted to cut some simple task. Whoa it worked!! I have got some ways to go understanding this software and the parameters etc ( Dr. Sticka was so simple) but I thought you would appreciate knowing that I am up and (so far) running. I can't believe nothing on my end changed and nothing was done to this machine and now it is fine but I am happy and thought I would send you a note thanking you for the time and effort you afforded me. I'll be back I'm sure with some questions but everything is ok. Thanks again. Kevin

    So if I understand you corectly the problem still lies in the communication with my computer. The carrage that didn't go up and down should have worked in a stand alone mode without even having the computer hooked to the cutter and obviously it did not. So I'll wait to se if it works when it rearrives or you'll be hearing from me as to how I need to get the communications straightened out. Thanks for responding and hopefully this time things will go smoothly. The computer I'll be using clean so I will be reloading the programs and starting over from scratch. Did it work with the originally supplied usb cable?

    What was up with the new motherboard having one less item to plug in than the old one had. and why would it do absolutely nothing when I turned it on. Kinda hard to think I fixed it when nothing happens upon turning it on. Thanks for the update.

    RA #3 sent back to same name and return address originally on the box. You had advised that that was the onty address. According to UPS tracking you all received it on Nov 12. It was signed for by Flynn if that means anything to you. There is a note inside the box explaining why it was returned. Kevin K.

    I had aired my problem and got great results with Ken. I have no problem with the company. I noticed Ken reads these and when I decided not to try to fix this I wanted to give Ken a heads up if he had not sent the parts. THATS IT! Then you come in, Accusing me of posting bad info ( so it wasn't a bad cable and please share) and YOU rattled my feathers, so me thinking youmust be the tech I didn't get and being the company man you are I would tell you what I thinlk. I don't mind wrenching but new is new and should work. I don't want to jeapordize any warranty if I tinker with something new. My last post was all ATTITUDE on my part and I apologize, but your persona triggered it. I think you joined in too late and not knowing the entire context you should have let the post end as it was over. So to all you readers and helpers. Sorry and thanks. There you have it. All the apology this thread is gonna get and now please just let it end.

    The machine does not work. What do you want me to share. I got it home, unpacked it and it doesn't work. First it wouldn't respond to the computer with the supplied cable. Once I replaced that it would accept the fact I had somethinng to cut but wouldn't cut. Get it? It doesn't work. I spent the afternoon on the phone with Ken who checked that everything I did was correct and agreed that there wa something defectives. He simpothised that I felt it unfair for me to have to pay to ship back something that I bought new that doesn't work. ( oh yeah the cutter thing wont go up and down) Unfortunately that wasn't his department and he couldn't change ploicy. So he was going to send parts. I unscrewed the bottom ( at Ken's suggestion)and when I saw everything hot glued in place I decided that I will be shipping this DEFECTIVE unit nback as I don't want to tackle doing the repairs. Which now means I'll have more $$ into this cutter and wondering maybe I should have bought the slighty more expensive competitors model) This unit was replacing a Roland Dr. Sticka that had given me over 10 years of trouble free service. I just wanted to go bigger. Now all of this has been covered with Ken including the fact that A $60. is alot to ship this and @ $60 I should have gotten it quicker. I don't know what your position with the company is but since you needed me to share I thought I'd add that. Furthermore I don't feel I should be paying to return defective merchandise. I realize this is an inexpensive cutter but it is defective and that should merit some good faith from a company that sells so many. I hope my sharing has made some of the others with problems feel a little less alone. So if you haven't sent any parts don't, your getting this unit back. If you did I'll return them to you. ( at my expense, of course!)

    It was a bad USB cable..... That solved communication with the computer. There were other problems with this unit.
