Scaling (Advanced Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: 0]
In some cases you may find a slight output inaccuracy in the actual output compared to what you
have set in the computer. This margin of error or offset is extremely small (approxima tely 1/300).
What this means is that there may be a 1-unit offset for every 300 unit increments. As an example,
if you engrave a 300mm straight line, it may end up measuring only 299 mm or 301 mm in the
final output. In this case, you will want to set the scaling setting to +1/1000 or -1/1000
respectively to compensate. A general rule of thumb is for every 300 unit increment, you will want
to adjust the slider by +1 if the final output is 1 unit increment shorter or -1 if the final output is 1
unit increment longer than your graphic design setting.
Position Modes (Advanced Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: Home]
These selections allow you to control the positioning of the laser head after each job completion
and before the next subsequent job.
• Home: Resets the positioning of the laser head to the ‘home position’ (upper-right) before and
after each job.
• Without Home: The laser head will start the next job based on the position from its graphic
application software setting, from the last position of the previous job. Upon completion of the
current job, the laser head will remain at the last position of the previous job.
• Relative: This mode sets the current laser head position to correspond to the origin (top left)
position of the graphic software. Therefore, the laser head will process the job from its current
position relative to its setting in the graphics software.
