REPEAT MODE KEY AND LED
REPEAT
MODE
Used to temporarily store drawings that are being sent by the computer. This function allows the
user to repeat the processing of a drawing while freeing up the computer for other tasks. To use,
press the Repeat Mode key and note that the Repeat Mode LED should illuminate (indicating that
all incoming drawings will be stored). Next, send the drawing to the laser system from the
computer. The laser will process the drawing and simultaneously store the drawing in the laser
system's memory. The computer can be used for other tasks once the drawing has been stored.
To repeat the drawing stored in the laser system memory, press the Repeat key (next to the
Repeat Mode key). To turn off the Repeat Mode and erase all stored drawings, press the Repeat
Mode key again and note the Repeat Mode LED has gone dark (indicating that all drawings have
been erased).
CAUTIO:
Turning off the laser system power will erase all drawings in the repeat mode
memory.
OTE:
The repeat mode will continue to store drawings until it is full (the capacity is 1
megabyte). If multiple drawings are stored in memory, pressing the repeat key
will cause all of the stored drawings to be processed in the order they were
received. If the 1 megabyte limit on memory is exceeded, the laser system
automatically turns off repeat mode (REPEAT MODE LED goes out) and erases
all the drawings.
OTE:
Repeat mode is not functional if the High Speed Raster Engraving Option is used
to engrave bitmapped or filled images. The repeat mode and high speed raster
engraving option can only be used together to engrave vector or outline images.
REPEAT KEY
REPEAT
Pressing this key will repeat the drawings stored in the laser's repeat mode memory, starting with
the first drawing stored after the REPEAT MODE key was pressed.
RESET FUNCTION
ENTER
VIEW
and
If the ENTER KEY is pressed and held down, then the VIEW KEY is pressed, the system will
perform a soft reset similar to turning the power on and off. This procedure is often sufficient for
resetting the machine after a communication error has occurred. If a more drastic reset of the
system is necessary, the power switch can be turned off and on.
