4.5 RUNNING A SAMPLE
The following outline is a step by step procedure used to produce a laser engraved object. Please
follow this procedure to understand the steps necessary for laser engraving.
STEP 1 Turn on the computer and then the laser system. Be sure to turn the equipment on in this
order.
STEP 2 Load the object that will be engraved into the laser system and position it in the desired
location in the engraving area. Usually, the object is placed up against the rulers in the
upper left hand corner of the engraving area. Use the rulers to determine the size of the
engraving object. Use either the top door or the front door for loading.
STEP 3 By using the motion system control keys, position the focus lens assembly over the
engraving material. Adjust focus by using the focusing tool and adjusting the height of the
engraving table.
STEP 4 Create a graphic using the graphics software program and position the graphic on screen so
that it matches the placement of the object in the laser system.
STEP 5 Before printing, go to the ULS Windows printer driver and assign the power settings. If
using DOS based programs, go to the laser system and enter in the power settings on the
main control panel.
STEP 6 Now send the file down to the laser system.
STEP 7 Turn on the exhaust blower.
STEP 8 Finally, when the file is in the laser system’s buffer, press the RUN FILE button to start
engraving.
STEP 9 While the laser system is running, start setting up the next job.
