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.
