System Operation 3-3
UP: This button operates the same as the DOWN button except it moves the Z-axis table up.
STOP + DOWN: Press and hold the STOP button then press the DOWN button. This button
sequence moves the Focus Carriage to the Focus Position whether it is the default (1”,1”) or a
new Focus Position that was sent from the Printer Driver.
STOP + START: Press and hold the STOP button then press the START button. This button
sequence clears the Laser System’s file memory and re-homes the X, Y, and Z-axis.

6) Laser Cartridge
The Laser Cartridge is a very sophisticated device. It is composed of a gas filled plasma tube
containing a special mixture of CO2 and other gases, two electrodes, and RF (radio frequency)
electronics. The function of the entire assembly is to turn electrical energy into concentrated
light energy. The word LASER is an acronym for Light Amplified Stimulated Emission of
Radiation.

The Laser Cartridge receives power from the 48VDC power supply and its “trigger signal” from
the CPU. When the trigger signal comes from the CPU, the RF electronics produce a high
frequency signal across the electrodes located inside the plasma tube. This causes
spontaneous photon emissions from the gas mixture that produces an invisible, infrared light
beam at a frequency of 10.6 microns.
