5-4 Using the Laser System Step-by-Step
A status screen may now appear showing a percentage of completion. Once this status screen
disappears, it does not mean that the file is totally in the laser systems memory. If you have the
Windows 95/98 print spooler turned on, it can take several seconds to even minutes, depending
on your file size and the speed of your computer, before the entire file loads into the laser
systems memory. As the file is downloading, the Green Light on the control Panel will start
flashing. Once the entire file is completely loaded, the Green Light on the Control Panel will
stop flashing and remain ON.
Starting the Engraving Process
Before pressing the “START” button on the control panel:
• Turn on your exhaust system.
• Make sure your material is positioned correctly within the engraving area.
• Make sure that you are properly focused.
• Make sure that the top door is closed.
If all of the above has been verified, press the “START” button on the laser systems control
panel to begin the engraving process.
WARNING: Observe that the laser system is functioning as desired. If any abnormalities are
present, including but not limited to, flaming, sparking, melting, or excessive smoking of the
material you are engraving, STOP THE ENGRAVING PROCESS IMMEDIATELY BY EITHER
PRESSING THE “STOP” BUTTON OR OPENING THE TOP DOOR! Re-check your settings in
the printer driver as well as the laser system. If everything seems to be correct, the material is
not suitable for laser engraving or cutting and you MUST DISCONTINUE processing this
material or any material that is shows signs of damaging the equipment. NEVER LEAVE THE
LASER SYSTEM UNATTENDED DURING THE ENGRAVING OR CUTTING PROCESS.
While the laser system is processing your material, you may stop the process by opening the
top door, or pressing the Stop button. However, interrupting the engraving or cutting process
may ruin your application material because you will be unable to resume operation where you
left off. Pressing the Start button will start the file over from the beginning.
