I recently purchased a Multitech 1290 Laser Cutter/Engraver from a private party on Ebay. I have set the machine up and everything powers up but I can not get my computer to connect to the cutter. I downloaded the drivers from the disc that was included while the softdog drive was inserted into the usb port on my computer and the blue data cable was linked from my computer to the main board (MPC 6525A) of the laser cutter. When I attempt to download a design from Lasercut 5.3 to the cutter an error message pops up and says "The communication is broken for timeout. Please close and open the output window to retry". I am currently trying to run Lasercut 5.3 on Windows 7 from a HP laptop, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver and Lasercut 5.3 program and I continue to have the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
