Chapter 4:
Tool Settings
To ensure optimal cutting and weeding, it is important to set the tool
settings (force, speed, acceleration, and corners) to the material. These
tool settings can be set either at the plotter control panel or in OMEGA or
GA software. The best place to make tool settings is in software so that
the settings remain specific to each job.
Default tool settings in either the ODYSSEY XP or in OMEGA and GA
software are based on the material specified and are the recommended
starting points. They might require adjustments. Adjustments depend on
a variety of factors (such as environmental conditions and physical size
of the design) and do not indicate a problem with the plotter, the
material, or the tools.
Note: The ODYSSEY XP plotter works with some third-party software. Consult
third-party manuals for information on running jobs, material choice, and tool
settings. If you use the ODYSSEY XP with third-party software, or with GA
versions earlier than 6.2, use that software to set the percentage of speed. Then
use the plotter controls to select material type and to adjust force and corners.
Using the ODYSSEY XP with Gerber software
The ODYSSEY XP can be completely controlled with OMEGA or GA
version 6.2 (and higher) by using controls in the Plotter Settings dialog
box. This dialog box is explained in Gerber software Reference manual.
