plying label.
Acceleration: Sets acceleration of label head movement when
applying label.
Label Type: Choose label size.
Min Velocity: Minimum velocity in cm/sec at which the la-
ser will fire. This reduces kerf at the beginning and end of
cuts.
Max Power: Sets the maximum power of the laser. You
may wish to adjust this for cutting different types of materi-
als. Expressed as a percentage from 0 to 1.0.
Min Power: The software incorporates a laser power ramp-
ing system which adjusts the power in relation to the
machine’s speed. Min Power sets the minimum power which
will be used to fire the laser. A typical laser will not fire
below 20% of its maximum power.
Laser Power: Laser on/off bit.
The Machine Setting Tools screen.
Tool: Select the tool whose parameters you wish to change
by clicking on it in the Tool drop-down menu. Tools may be
added or deleted by clicking the appropriate tab.
T Offset: Sets the tangent offset for the selected cutting
tool. Tangent offset is the distance between the actual cut
line of a tool and the center of the spindle it is mounted to.
Most tool types, properly mounted, will not require tangent
offset adjustment. If you find it necessary to adjust T Offset,
note that changes to three decimal places (.001 cm) are
significant.

use. Tools may be added to the list through the Machine
Setting Tools window.
Primary Marker: If your machine has more than one mark-
ing device, you may specify one as the Primary Marker.

Marker.
