-==== Software & Drivers ==== 
- 
-In short... 
- 
-Install "​SignBlazer Elements for USCutter"​ 
-The interface to the LaserPoint24 is Serial. The LP24 has both a DB9 or USB. Where the USB will install as a FDTI and should auto install. If needed drivers are available at http://​support.uscutter.com/​index.php?/​Knowledgebase/​List/​Index/​39 
- 
-SignBlazer is a free design and cutting utility for Windows O/S only. It suits the needs of many customers but lacks much of the power and functionality of true design programs such as,​CorelDraw or Inkscape (inkscape.org). The official release of SignBlazer only works in "Trial Mode" ​ but it is fully functional. It also does not require an activation code of any kind; nor do you need to register or update it because it is no longer being developed.

- 
-Please roll and store leftover vinyl, and dispose of vinyl pickings. ​ The cutting blade muat be replaced periodically. ​ Xarrax says the $5 ebay blades broke less often and cut longer than the expensive ones in this machine.
