Section 4.0 - Rules
Work Safely. Always wear safety glasses near the machine.
Text to be Marked:
The text to be marked may be any keyboard characters or symbols. Upper and lower case are supported.
There is a limit of 20 characters per line when input with the machine. There is no limit to the number of lines
in a file.
Text Height:
The text height may be any size desired. The size is from top to bottom.
X and Y Positions:
The X & Y positions of each line may be typed in from the keyboard or taught with the machine using the tip as
a pointer over the product. The jog keys are used to move the machine. Pressing X or Y will move the cursor
to the X or Y position screen. Enter will accept the values shown on the display.
The reference point for the X & Y Positions:
Regular Line Style – Upper left corner of text
Arc Text Line Style – Bottom center of text
Angular Line Style – Upper left corner of text
Regular Line Style:
Regular line style is for marking straight text.
Arc Text Line Style:
Arc Text line style is for marking text around a radius. The user will define the radius of the text from the center
to the bottom of the character, and the angle which is defined as follows:
0 = right quadrant
90 = top quadrant
180 = left quadrant
270 = bottom quadrant
Angular Line Style:
Angular line style allows marking the line at an angle infinitely defined around its pivot point. The reference
pivot is at the upper left corner of the text. The same as its X & Y position reference. The angle may be input
with the keyboard or taught with the machine by jogging it in the X & Y axes. Pressing the Enter key will
capture the angle.
