3. THE LASER MARKER

CONNECTION AND
OPERATION

You can now begin to use the Laser Marker with the help of instructions in this chapter.

These instructions will show you how to turn on the Laser Marker and how to create, edit and print the
message. You will also learn how to stop the laser beam and turn off the Laser Marker.

3.1. CONNECTION AND STARTUP

Follow the steps below to connect and start up the Laser Marker.

(1) Connect the power supply cable to the power connector on the rear panel.

(2) Connect the CUSTOMER connector (DB-44) (Option) to the input marked "CUSTOMER" on the

rear panel.

(3) Place the Laser Marker on the place you want to mark. Please note the following points when

installing:

- Install the Laser Marker perpendicularly to the printing surface.

- Refer to "4.3 Lens" in this Manual for the distance between the print surface and print head.

(4) Remove the lens protection sheet.

(5) Plug the power connector to 100 to 120 / 200 to 240 V AC outlet.

(6) Check the installation status (perpendicular to printing surface / stability, etc.) and confirm that

each connector is securely connected.

(7) Turn the emergency stop switch in the direction of the arrows (not shown in the photos, in the

direction of "RESET" for LM-C310 and LM-C330), and confirm that the stop state has been
released.

(8) Turn the key switch to the ON side (arrow direction in the photos below) to start up the Laser

Marker.
