How are you doing Tint, are we resolved yet.
When the program freezes, does it work again if you click yes?

I went through this when I bought one of those boat anchors a few years ago. Whoever I spoke with down their a desay spoke Broken english at best. It was really fustrating to me and I ended up buy a used graphtec for the same price and Have no issues. This is my own personal experiance and I just wanted to share. I truley hope he gets his plotter going but it will be a long road for a newbie to learn on inferior equipment and software.

I found it! Maybe this will help you.
If it is to crappy to read, PM me with your email and I will send the PDF.
you got PM
when the program freezes, it does work again, immediately after i see the "!" sign with option of yes and no, when i click no, it says "cutting done".
i see what your saying, do you think i should just get a different type of cutter and throw this one to the street?
i played with it more yesteday and no use, i've tried switching the cables from serial to parallel, and its the same story. there is something i must be missing..

Desay cutter
I have the same cutter and it works great. Technical at Desay worked for me. I got their serial port to usb adapter and have never had a problem.

Tint have you tried contacting the Guy who writes Signgo? I think their info is in the about screen within the program.
He may have a better idea of what his program is doing than us. he will also hope fully know what the ! signifies.

i contacted dave at desay.
he told me the master 380p machine does not support universal cables. as it will not establish a connection. so im gonna have to but the original serial cable and try again.
Well now! Who'd have thought? Hope you get it working. Mine does what I want.

Im pleased your almost working TINT, alter the depth of the blade and you should be good to go.

Great news! So, in summary, you called tech support for a machine you bought second hand and they helped you get it working? For free?Sounds pretty good to me.
I set my "cheap piece of crap" (that works just fine, thank you) plotter at 600 speed and 80grams downforce for cast vinyl. For blast mask I use 400 speed and 350 grams with a 60 degree blade. It sounds like once you get your knife set properly you will be on your way.
I have had my media scratched by the blade before, so watch out for that. It was caused by me loading or unloading the media with the knife left "in the way". I now set the knife all the way to the side of the carriage when I load/unload media so it won't happen again.
