Laserpoint mac signcut wont cut

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Just got my Laserpoint24. Im using a new Macbook OSX 10.5.

I downloaded and installed the rec driver. Not sure if its working properly or not, I am using the USB cable and it is plugged in. When I go into the Cutter/device tab this is what I see: /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-sync... Not sure if that is right or not, Im assuming that is not right and it should say something else??  it doesn't seem to do anything at all when I try to cut out the sample "signcut" logo. The laserpoint screen just says online and it does nothing.

I don't know if I installed the driver wrong or what, I have no Idea about this kind of stuff, I installed it to my HD? Does it need to be installed somewhere else? Or is there a way to turn the driver on or put it into Signcut?

I really wish there was some better directions somewhere... these programs basically assume you just know how to do all this stuff :thumbsup:

thanks.

Ok, Nevermind.

I think I had installed the wrong set of drivers from FTDI. There was two sets for MAC. I installed the MAC OSX ones assuming that the other  MAC INTEL ones were the ones for people using Windows partition in a MAC. Im new to MAC and I guess I just figured INTEL was with Windows.. Obviously not the case. After about 6 hours of messing with everything I could think of and about to smash my computer and buy the Keyspan adapter, I looked at my Hardrive description and it said OSX-10.5 "INTEL" ...  :thumbsup: Im an idiot, woops. SO I downloaded the OSX INTEL drivers and it came up in the Cutter/device settings now.

So I did a test on a sheet of paper with the PEN tool and it drew out the SigncutX2 logo perfectly.

I am just using the supplied USB cable that came with the cutter, No Keyspan adapter with a new Macbook so I guess it can work just fine with the USB cable if you set it up right, I'm glad I didn't waste $30 on the Keyspan adapter.

Where did you download the OSX INTEL Drivers?  My Lasercut24 is arriving Friday and I'm trying to get everything setup so I can get cutting right away.

Does the SignCut X2 Trial expire after a week or is there a bundled license code that comes with the cutter?

I didn't get the Serial to USB adapter, I'm assuming I can get it working straight off the USB *Fingers Crossed*

I would also love the answer to that question. My laserpoint should be here by the end of the week and I also want to have everything up and running.
