POINTER
The POINTER button is a toggle switch that turns the laser systems visible Red Dot
Pointer on and off. When the Red Dot Pointer is on, the green indicator light directly
adjacent to the POINTER button will be illuminated.
General Purpose Buttons
GO
This key is used to start a job. Once the desired job is selected, pressing the GO
button will start the job. If a job is paused (STOP button) it can be resumed by
pressing the GO button. The GO button is also used to repeat a job – simply select
the job you want to run on the display panel and press GO.
STOP
Pressing the STOP button will stop the lens carriage and the laser beam will be shut
off. If the STOP button is pressed during raster engraving mode the lens carriage will
stop on either the far left or far right of the engraving line that is in process. If the
STOP button is pressed while in vector cutting mode, the lens carriage will stop at the
end of a line segment or at the next line node location. Once the lens carriage has
stopped, you can open the door to examine the engraving. By closing the door and
pressing the GO button, the engraving / cutting job will commence where it left off.
If the item being engraved is not moved the engraving / cutting registration will not
be affected.
Note: Opening to door on the laser during engraving or cutting will stop the laser
from firing; however the lens carriage will continue to move. It is important to STOP
the job before you open the door to ensure the engraving / cutting is completed.
RESET
This button is used to reset the carriage to home position after you have stopped a job
in progress. RESET does not erase the job from the laser systems memory; rather it
will stop the engraving job in process and send the carriage back to the home
position. The STOP button should always be pressed before pressing the RESET
button.
JOB
Pressing the JOB button displays the file name of the last job stored in memory.
After pressing the JOB key, pressing the UP or DOWN keys allows the operator to
scroll through all of the saved jobs that are stored in the laser systems on-board
memory.
