SYSTEM OPERATION

Section 3-2

UP and DOWN:

Moves the cursor up or down in the display. Also used to increase or

decrease the value of the number that the cursor is positioned on top of.

SELECT and ESCAPE:

Depending on which menu you are in at the time, SELECT

(left) either enters you into that menu item the cursor is currently on, or it toggles that menu

item to display different choices. Also depending on which menu you are in at the time, ESCAPE (right)
either exits you back to the previous menu or it cancels any changes that you have made to that menu
item.

PREVIOUS and NEXT FILE:

While in the FILE DISPLAY menu, NEXT FILE (right)

advances the next file in the systems memory, makes it the current file, and will stop

incrementing when you reach the last file in memory. PREVIOUS FILE (left) displays the previous file in
the systems memory, makes it the current file, and will stop decrementing when you reach the first file in
memory.

PAUSE and RESUME:

If a file is running, the PAUSE button (left) halts the engraving

or cutting process and the focus carriage will move to its home position in the upper right

corner of the engraving area. RESUME (right) will begin cutting or engraving again at the location where
the motion system was paused. Please wait for the motion system to stop and move to the home position
before opening any door otherwise the laser beam will not resume from the position it stopped at.

MOTION CONTROL:

Pressing and holding down one or two adjacent, arrow buttons

will cause the Focus Carriage to move in the respective direction. The focus carriage will
start to move slowly and will accelerate to a faster speed until you release the button(s).

X-Y POSITION:

Selectable only while the READY menu or FILE DISPLAY menus are

displayed. It enables the ORIGIN POSITION menu to appear. It also activates the red laser diode

and displays the current X-Y position of the focus carriage.

This is the “focusing” button. The READY menu or the FILE DISPLAY menu must be the

current menu for this button to be operable. This button positions the focus carriage at the default

(1,1) position in the engraving area and activates the “Z Position” menu. Pressing the button again, or the
PAUSE button, will move the focus carriage back to the home position.

The Menu System

READY

After the system is powered ON, INITIALIZING will appear, along with the model name, until it has
completed performing its initialization and homing routine. READY will then appear indicating that the
system is ready to accept files. Without downloading any files, pressing ESCAPE will bring you to the
MAIN menu display. If you just download a file, without pressing ESCAPE, the MAIN menu will be
bypassed and the FILE DISPLAY menu will appear, displaying the name of the first file downloaded.

FILE DISPLAY

This menu appears automatically after the first file has completely downloaded into the laser system's
memory. Utilizing the NEXT FILE and PREVIOUS FILE buttons, display the appropriate downloaded file
and press the START button to begin laser processing. The current power, speed, PPI, and Image
Density setting are displayed as well as a timer and COPIES function. The timer will pause when the
PAUSE button is pressed and starts up again when RESUME is pressed. The COPIES feature shows
you how many copies of that file were completed.
