Please tell me if there is a cure for this? Anything I can do right now?

So my USB port is broken. Now on the parallel port. I'm using a serial to usb that has worked previously with my MH721 but it doesn't work with this laserpoint II. At least I can't get it to cut. The progress bar says it cutting but nothing is happening. I've tried Signblazer and SCAL. Please help if you can. If not a hug would suffice.

Looks like your COM port is recognizing your cable in both Sure Cuts and SB... I assume you have the driver for the cable installed on your computer since it worked with the MH cuttter.

Open device manager, and check that ports communication parameters- BAUD rate. - and see if it matches the Baud rate of the cutter.  Also check COM settings in  SB.

Write down settings if you make changes, if you need to revert back.

JBurns, Thank you. It's working fine now. 100%.  

 

To everyone else thanks for the "serial" correction.

I'm confused - you say you have a refine mh series cutter - posted in the sc cutter section and the 2 set ups above show a laserpoint (made by creation)  and a laserpoint 2 (made by liyu).  lets start with exactly which cutter we are dealing with?  2nd are you using the serial cable that came with the cutters - some use a null modem serial cable and some a straight serial cable . . .

Thank you so much for your help Dakotagrafx, I apologize that you got confused. The problem I was having was with my Laserpoint II, I refered to the MHRefine only to say that the cable worked fine when I used it with that cutter before I got the LPII. All is well now and the Laserpoint II is working like a champ. 

I'm using the same cable that you see recognized in the settings shown.

glad you got it all sorted out and working!

 

Yes, I think I may have panicked and rushed to the boards. :-)
