3. Open a page in Corel. The page size is not very important for using the
Center-Center feature, so the page can be almost any size.
Note: If you are using a large page size, place your artwork towards the
upper left corner of the page. In this example we’re going to use a small
page that is 4” x 4” (102 x 102 mm).
4. Create your artwork so that it is sized to fit into the available engraving
area. In this example, we sized the text to fit within the available engraving
area. 18 point text fits nicely into our box. Notice that the exact location of
where you place the artwork is not important. At this point your artwork is
ready.
Hint: Remove the box, or print Selected Only when you print to the laser.
The box is used only to define the available engraving area and you do not
want to print it with the text.
After your artwork is ready, the next step is to set up the laser before printing.
Place the work piece in the machine and activate the Red Dot Pointer. We want
to set a new Home position by moving the carriage by hand so the Red Dot
Pointer is at the center of where you want to engrave. To move the carriage by
hand and set a new Home position, use the following instructions referring to the
control panel shown below.
