Speed (Pen Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: 50]
The speed slider controls the laser’s speed during operation (engraving speed) with settings ranging from 0.1 –
100%.Only when moving in straight line with enough distance, the carriage can achieve 100% speed. On the
other hand, the machine will automatically slow down when processing curves so the speed % indicator only
presents maximum speed % that laser can achieve but not equal to actual laser carriage moving speed. It is
exactly like driving a car on a straight road, you can driver faster and on a curve road you have to slow down.
Laser pulse frequency is controlled by the speed setting for vectors and it is opposite to pulse width, meaning
higher speed setting for vectors, lower pulse width, and thus less cutting capability. Not only speed% setting
affects actual processing time but also the job size, complexity of the graphic and the position of the graphic in
the working area.
Power (Pen Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: 50]
The power sl
ider controls the laser’s power during operation (engraving/cutting power) with a range setting
from 0
– 100%. The percentage setting represents the power for each laser pulse fired. The lower the power
setting, the shallower it engraves or cuts, and vice-versa.
Tip
Cutting / engraving depth are determined by a combination of power and speed. Slower
speed at higher power will produce deeper cuts and engravings, whereas higher speeds
at lower power will produce more shallow cuts and engravings.
NOTE
The VENUS print driver cannot store more than 16 pen colors or different laser
parameter settings per file.
