Perform marking in RUN mode
In RUN mode, either a signal from Laser Marker NAVI smart or from an external device
starts the laser radiation.
• The external device can be a switch, or a sensor connected to the I/O terminal. When you
turn on RUN mode, the laser marking system enters the marking ready state. Use this
mode for semi-automatic marking processes.
• You cannot edit the marking data in RUN mode.
• LP-RC: Laser pumping must be completed before you can turn on RUN mode.
