Select "Run Setup" .
Follow the on screen instructions.
Ignore the warning of only being able to install SignBlazer on one computer. This does not apply since you
will be using trial mode and updates are no longer available for the SignBlazer software.
When asked what cutter you want to use, select the model that matches your cutter. If you are using the MH
871 and there is no listing for that model, select the MH 721.
When asked if you want to install the USB driver, select "No" since we have already done so.
When asked what port your cutter uses, select the Port that corresponds with your setup. If using a USB
connection you will need to select the COM port that corresponds with your setup (Noted above from the
"Finding Your COM Port" section of the manual).
