Running Your First Job
This example will walk through the process of engraving an image on a 2 x 3.5 inch (50.8 x 89 mm), 0.0195
inch (0.49 mm) thick anodized aluminum test card supplied with your laser system. For additional test cards
please contact Universal Laser Systems’ Customer Service Team at support@ulsinc.com
.
Note: For this example, we will be using CorelDRAW and the CorelDRAW sample file provided on the
installation CD. The file is also provided in .eps or .dxf for use in other applications if CorelDRAW is not
available.
Step 1 – Loading and Positioning the Material
Position the piece of anodized aluminum (1) in the upper left corner of the table, against the rulers.
Step 2 – Creating the Graphic
Using CorelDRAW, open the sample graphic file found online at https://www.ulsinc.com/support/technical-
downloads. Under the Download Installation Software drop down menu, select ULS Additional Files and use
the file named ULSTest.cdr. Note, the download also contains the test file in .eps and .dxf formats.
Step 3 – Printing to the Laser System (Using the Materials Database Tab)
1. Verify that the Universal Control Panel (UCP) is running in the taskbar by looking for the square red
icon.
2. When you are ready to print the job, select PRINT from the CorelDRAW FILE menu. Make sure that
your laser system printer driver appears in the DESTINATION NAME dropdown list, and then click
PROPERTIES (Figure 4) to display your laser system printer driver settings (Figure 5).
