System Tab

The System Tab allows you to configure certain features of the laser system. If your laser system needs to be

calibrated, you will need to do so from this tab. The System tab contains the following controls

•

• The PRINT CACHE number indicates the

maximum number of print jobs that will be

stored on your hard drive. If you exceed the

number shown, the software will

automatically begin deleting the oldest jobs

as newer jobs enter the queue, unless

“Permanent” is checked in the File

Management window.

• LANGUAGE allows you to switch between

available languages according to your

preference.

• UNITS allows you to choose between Metric

or English units of measure.

• AUTO Z enables a feature that

automatically moves the Z axis to the

material thickness value entered into the

printer driver properties window in the color

table. If it is disabled, the Z values in the

color table will be ignored and you will need

to set focus manually by using the Focus

Tool. If you use this feature make sure the Z axis has been properly homed.

• The TUNING value is used compensate for mechanical lag when raster engraving by shifting the left to

right and right to left raster lines with respect to each other by the amount entered. This value is in pixels.

This value performs the same function as the tuning value in the printer driver and the values are additive.

• The LENS SIZE selection lets the laser system know which lens you have installed. This is important for

proper function of the auto Z mode in the laser system and auto-focus feature in laser systems with

autofocus. Lenses are calibrated to the laser system at the factory, but if you replace a lens you will need

to recalibrate the lens. Select the Calibrate feature and follow the instructions given.

• The ALIGNMENT Mode Launch button opens the Alignment Mode window for checking and adjusting

alignment of the laser to the motion system. The Alignment feature should only be used if instructed by

the Customer Service Team at ULS.

• CUTTING TABLE allows you to calibrate the Z axis to the top surface of a removable cutting table. You

need to have the cutting table installed in the system to activate the CALIBRATE button. To calibrate,

press the button and follow the instructions.

• ROTARY allows you to calibrate the Z axis to a rotary fixture. You need to have the rotary fixture installed

in the system to activate the CALIBRATE button. To calibrate, press the button and follow the instructions.

• AUTO FOCUS allows you to calibrate the autofocus sensor.

• PULSE CALIBRATION is set at the factory to calibrate laser pulsing for the installed laser. It should not be

adjusted unless you are instructed to do so by the Customer Service Team at ULS.

• APPLICATION provides access to optional features and functionality of the software. The ACTIVATE

button allows you to enter activation code for these optional software features and functions such as the

Direct Import Feature. These optional features are explained in the accessory section of the manual.

• If the SOUNDS box is checked, the computer will play the sound file selected every time the selected

event occurs. You can attach sounds to the JOB COMPLETE, PAUSE and RESUME events.

• MANUAL FOCUS POSITION allows you to specify the location on the table the system goes to when the

focus button is pressed on the control panel.

• HOMING OPTIONS allows you to change behavior of the homing features in the laser system. By default

after a job is complete the motion system will return home. To prevent this, select the ‘Don’t Return Home

After Engraving’ switch.

• If the laser loses its Z location, the materials processing table will home at start up. To have this feature

turned off, check the ‘Disable Automatic Z-Homing’ switch. Disabling this feature can also be helpful when

troubleshooting Z-Axis problems.
