Need Help Installing FDTI Serial Drivers

We don’t have a check box for the FTDI driver install on the Mac. Provide as much relevant information as possible when you reach out to support - at a minimum, mention the type of computer you’re using, the type of laser (or controller), and which version of the software you’re using.
