Mach3 installation

The latest version of Mach3 program can be downloaded from the ArtSoft® website:
http://www.machsupport.com/downloads.php
After the file is downloaded, you should launch it and follow the instructions on the screen. Generally, you
should just press the „Next" button. In the window with components to install selection – uncheck the
„Parallel Port Driver" position. It is a parallel port driver that is unused with CSMIO/IP-M controller.
Next, we can create a configuration profile, which we will use. You can also create the configuration profile
later. If we want to do this during the installation, then – click on (select your machine type):
