4. Engrave type
Ends
The Ends dropdown box allows for two selections. The Normal setting provides
the fastest engraving but the edges of detailed graphics may not align properly.
The Fine setting results in slower engraving but detailed images are engraved
flawlessly.
Direction
The Direction options are Top to Bottom and Bottom to Top. These options
determine if the engraver begins raster engraving at the top or the bottom of
the graphic. When using the bottom to top setting engraving results are slightly
cleaner due to the direction of airflow inside the engraver.
5. Cut & Engrave Setup
The Cut & Engrave Setup section allows the user to enable and disable certain
functions of the engraver. If the box next to Cut is unchecked the engraver will
disregard any potions of the graphics that instruct the laser to vector cut.
Likewise, if the box next to Engrave is unchecked the engraver will disregard the
portions of the graphic that would normally be raster engraved. For more
precise control the boxes below each color allow the user to disable the cut or
engrave options independently for each color.
By Color
When [By Color] is selected vector are cut according to the predefined color
order. And vectors of the same color are cut in the sequence they have been
drawn. Engraving objects’ orders are according to color only. Raster lines of the
same color are engraving by [Direction] setting
By Drawing
When [By Drawing] is selected all vectors are cut in the sequence in which
they have been drawn, regardless of color. Engraving objects won’t follow this.
