anchor point in your image and press the TO POINTER button to move that anchor point to the
current focus carriage location. This feature is useful for aligning an image with a piece of
material you plan to process with the laser system.
Note: If you print with a page size smaller than the maximum field size of the laser system, the anchors
will display at the edges of the page on the image.
Duplicate View
The Duplicate feature gives you the ability to duplicate an image in a grid pattern. You can select how
many rows and columns of the image as well as the spacing between the rows and columns. After you
create a grid of duplicate images you can also remove any one of the copies or the original from the
group by selecting that instance in the preview window. If you need to restore a copy that you removed,
click in the general area of that instance and it will return.
Estimate View
The estimate feature approximately calculates the amount of time it will take the laser system to
process the selected job. For more complex jobs, the estimate feature can take a while to estimate the
job completion time. A job can be estimated while a machine is disconnected or turned off.
Settings
The settings button gives you access to the printer driver settings for the selected job. Most of the settings
can be changed after printing if necessary. A few of the settings like image density and print mode are not
reconfigurable after initial printing and will be grayed out. Any changes made will be permanently saved
with the job.
File Management
As jobs are printed, they are added to the print queue until the queue reaches the print queue limit set in
the system tab. Once the Print queue reaches the maximum number of jobs, the printer driver deletes the
oldest job each time a new job enters the queue (a FIFO system). Information listed above the preview
screen includes the name of the currently selected job, the number of jobs stored, the date and time the
selected job was stored on your hard drive and the job processing time (after the job has been run once).
Just under the name of the job the Copies feature tells you how many times the selected job has been run
on the laser system. Navigation Arrows on either side of the currently selected print job number allow you
to navigate through the print jobs stored on your hard drive. The “folder” button displays a popup window
that allows you to further manage the jobs in the print queue by performing such functions as importing
print jobs exported from other computers or exporting print jobs to other computers using the proprietary
ULS job format (file extension .EMF), deleting print jobs, marking jobs as permanent so they will not be
deleted by the FIFO systems, purging the entire queue (except for jobs marked permanent), or directly
importing PDF or DXF files (with optional Direct File Import add-on explained in the accessory section of the
manual).
Multi-page Job Controls
If you print a job from a graphics program that supports creation and printing of multi-page documents, a
second set of file navigation controls will appear below the preview windows allowing you to navigate
through the pages in the multi-page job. Multi-page jobs can be processed with each page manually
selected in the preview screen one at a time or they can be merged and processed as a single job with or
without a forced pause between pages. Use the multi-page control in the printer driver (setup button in the
UCP) to control this.
