4-10 Computerized Controls

Once you have “Tuned” your machine, you must understand how to use it properly. As an

example, let us say that the three customized settings that you “Tuned” your laser system to

were “Plastic”, “Wood”, and “Anodized Aluminum”. If you were getting ready to run some wood,

simply open or create your drawing and when you go to adjust the laser’s printer driver settings,

make sure that you go to the “Tuning” tab and choose “Wood”. DO NOT click on “Modify”

because you have already established the correct values. Just make sure that “Wood” is

selected. Proceed to the remaining tabs in the driver and input the appropriate settings you

desire such as Power, Speed, and PPI. The only time that you need to “Modify” your “Tuning”

settings is if you are re-tuning your system.

NOTE

If your system has a many hours or years of operation and your motion system components are

extremely worn, your “Tuning” sample may not show any lines that are straight. If this is the

case, mechanical component replacement may be required. Please contact our Customer

Support Department for assistance.

Vector Scaling

This feature allows you to calibrate your vector cutting or vector engraving to your particular

application and was developed to compensate for some mechanical tolerances as well as the

width of your laser cuts. For example, if you were to cut a 5” x 5” square out of 1/8” acrylic, the

actual square that is cut out will be slightly smaller than the drawn image because the laser

beam has width just like a saw blade does. It might measure something like 4.997” x 4.996” for

example. If you would like the Printer Driver to automatically compensate for this, simply enter

the measured dimension of your laser cut square. The next time you vector cut, the square will

be automatically compensated in the driver by over-sizing the square the same amount that the

measured square was undercut. This way, the cut square will actually measure 5” x 5”. If you

are going to use this feature, always draw an exact 5” x 5” square in your graphics software, cut

or mark your material using the proper settings, measure the cut out square with a precision

measuring device such as a calipers, and enter into the driver the measured dimensions. This

will scale your vectors across the entire table. Keep in mind that this feature DOES NOT scale

raster images so if you combine raster and vector images in one file, the raster image may not

align with your vectors. You will need to manually position your raster images in their desired

position.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to use the vector scaling feature when your graphic extends out to the absolute

edge of the engraving field. You may accidentally cause the Printer Driver to attempt to print

past the edge of the maximum allowable page size. Unexpected results may occur. If you use

this feature, the actual allowable page size decreases by the same amount that you are

attempting to offset.
