24 System settings
Select “File switching by name”, “File switching by number” or “Character
transmission”.
• “Data extraction”:
Set to “ON” to extract and transfer only a part of the code read. If “OFF” is selected,
all characters of the code string are transmitted.
The data extraction function cannot be used for code strings with variable-length
data.
• “Extraction start position [byte]”:
Specify the start position for the code extraction.
Setting range: 1–299 bytes
• “Extraction length [byte]”:
Specify the data length for code extraction.
Setting range for “Character transmission” and “File switching by name”: 1–299 bytes
Setting range for “File switching by number”: 4 bytes (fixed)
‒ Count one single byte character as one byte.
‒ The extraction position setting applies to all data captured when using this
function.
‒ If the code to be captured is shorter than the string to extract, the code is not
captured.
• “Target object number”:
Enter the object number if “Character transmission” is set for “Control function”. The
character data read will be transferred to the object number specified here.
Setting range: 0–1999
4. Select “Apply to laser marking system” in the ribbon to save the settings.
The new settings will be updated in the laser marking system.
24.22 Optimize the laser power of specific marking field areas
With this setting, you can adjust the laser power setting of specific marking field areas such
as the corners of the marking field. Laser power optimization is available for LP-GS and LP-
RC.
The laser power optimization settings are performed based on the x- and y-axis of head
direction “No. 1”. Make sure the head direction is set to “No. 1” before making settings under
“Power optimization by marking position”.
• Use the laser power optimization settings to offset marking density differences of specific
areas in the marking field. For example, there might be marking density differences
between the center and the edges of the marking field.
• The settings apply to all files in the laser marking system.
• The laser power optimization settings do not change the maximum laser power [W] value.
The correction value is applied to the “Laser power” parameter under “Laser settings”.
