O.K, PROB 1 SOLVED. I got rid of the mh 871 and got the zen cut green for contour cutting. It does not have a laser yet reads the registration marks, so I know this is where my new problem is. I am a total NOOB at this and have been reading several post, yet can't seem to find the right one. I'm using Illy cs4 and for now just creating a text to test cut. I have created outlines and got rid of the bounding box. I then print with the Japanese Reg marks, and send to SC pro. I use the single key function on the ZEN Cut Green to measure media width which I'm only using an 8.5 x 11 inch paper. I've created crop marks, and tried offsets, yet I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. It will cut the text format, just not where I need it to on the paper. Where oh where am I messing up? Sorry for the dumb ? to you experienced people, I made a mistake of thinking this would be easy to learn. Thanks for all help. Ohh, if this helps, after I've tried aligning a few times, I went back to Illy cs4 and moved my design around, each time getting closer to the mark. I know that's not the way it should be done, yet I hope that helps isolate a problem.

Alright! Got communication with the zen cut green on the mac osx. Originally I bought a usb to serial connector and downloaded the keyspan driver which didn't work. The guys at Us cutter redirected me to the right " KEYSPAN ". No one I could find in California carried the right one, not even Apple Found one through Wal-Mart, online only, of all places. Came with mac osx disk and loaded right up. Used the Jaguar II 61 under cutters in SC pro as recommended By US Cutters changed the device output from gcc usb to dev/cu/usa19H41p1. Cutter sems to reading fine, now to start cutting. Thanks for your help.

downloaded keyspan drivers, and still no go??: I installed parallels for the mac and it read the usb, however, when I use the GCC Puma 11 with the usb I get a bunch of scribbles marks instead of the design. I have tried other cutters as well. I think there may be a software issue. It will show the design just fine under the graphtec and uscutter, but now us cutter doesn't give a usb option. SC is also directing me to fast forward or rewind screen every time I try to cut. This never happened before. I have a feeling I may need to re install SC. If so, how do I go about that? I don't want to do an un-install, then not be able to use my previous reg code.

I really don't want to go this route, but if I run Parallels on my Mac, will I be able to access sign cut and Illustrator as well as run the Zen Cut Green? Or will I need to get use to a new program like Corel Draw, and have to re install SC?

I did notice when I preview the cut on the Gcc Puma, the preview is just a bunch of scribbles vs the design. For testing, I've just been trying to cut out the Sign Cut logo that is shown when you first open SC. I have also tried to cut Just the Letter C. Either which way, It doesn't seem to be reading the cutter

I just bought a keyspan adapter USB/ Serial, still no luck. I'll give it some more tries and see what happens

I do agree with the weekend issue, unfortuanetly that's when I do my work. Should I keep this post on SC as well as Mac Forum? Or should I get rid of this post since Kimon is helping out on the Mac Forum?

At this point, I'm gonna have to agree with you. Talk to ya in the morning....I hope

What a bad time to have Kimon on board with helping me I have to go pick up my kids but will be back online in a few hours. Thanks for any steps you can guide me through Kimon.

I have no probs being the Lab Rat As long as we get it working

The Usb driver was from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm. The last setting I tried was for GCC and The options are ?dev/cu.bluetooth-PDAsync, write to file, TCP/IP, GCC USB. Thanks for your help Kimon.

Yes I did. I thought maybe he was on vacation since I haven't noticed him online. Thanks for the follow through

I have had no luck finding Mac drivers to support the ZenCut Green nor much help from support. I'm beginning to think it won't work with the Mac. The product details say it's loaded with drivers and extras, yes it is, just not for the Mac Os. I asked the salesman while ordering the product if it was Mac compatible, he said yes. Wrong again! The Zen Cut Green may be a newer product, yet isn't up to date with it's software I have tried countless google searches for a driver....... NONE!!!!! Unless that is, you have a Windows Os. Who made this Cutter, Bill Gates? I have tried to use several different cutters in Sign Cut Pro, Checked my Reg marks, Did a test cut straight from the cutter, searched for drivers, put in a support ticket, check all settings, read through the whole manual ( except putting together the stand ), Post messages on the Forum ( which I do think is an excellent forum ), Tried re-installing USB driver, stood on my head and asked ohh pretty please work, and created a bald spot on the top of my head!!!! Can someone just level with me and tell if this 60's style ZenCut Green will work with a Mac Os!!!! I would really like to go on with life outside of support forums!!! I had no probs with the Mh871 except it doesn't do contour cuts!
