Step 4 – Starting the Process
1. Turn on the exhaust and laser system if not already on.
2. Note: Laser system cooling fans are variable speed and may speed up and slow down during
operation as needed to cool the lasers.
3. Make sure the material is positioned correctly within the engraving area.
4. Close the top door.
5. Press the green START button on the UCP to begin laser processing (Figure 6 on previous page).
CAUTION: Observe that the laser system is functioning properly. If everything is working properly, an image
should appear on the test card as the laser system runs the job. If no image appears, check focus manually
as described in the User Guide and adjust if necessary. If you cannot resolve the issue, please contact your
distributor or the ULS Customer Service Department. Never leave the laser system unattended while laser
processing.
