System Operation 5-5
DO NOT download files until the display reads “READY” as this can lead to an incorrect or
corrupted file download. Corrupted file downloads can lead to an incorrect firing of the laser
which can destroy the material you are engraving.
The two up and down arrow buttons to the left and below the LCD give complete access to the
menu control system. Use these arrow buttons to move the cursor up or down through the
items in the display.
Both of these buttons each serves two purposes. Depending on which menu you are in at the
time, the “SELECT” button either enters you into that menu item the cursor is currently on, or it
toggles that menu item to display different choices. Some items in the display lead to other
menus and some are settings that can be adjusted. The “ESCAPE” button, depending on
which menu you are in at the time, either exits you back to the previous menu or it nullifies or
cancels any changes that you have made to that menu item. Continuously pressing the
“ESCAPE” button will eventually bring you back to the “MAIN” menu.
The indicator lights will act differently depending on the current state of the laser system. The
chart below describes the conditions of the indicator lights during different modes of operation.
