8 Marking object basics
8.2
General object/object group parameters
You can change the general parameters of a marking object or object group, for example the
object number or the object group name.
To edit the parameters of an object, select the object in the object list or in the marking image
editor. To edit the parameters of an object group, select the group in the object list.
The general parameters are displayed in the “General” category below the object list.
• “Object No.”, “Object group No.”:
The numbers are assigned in sequential order every time an object or object group
is created. Enter another number in the text box to change it. The number is used for
external control such as communication commands.
• “Object name”, “Object group name”:
To specify a name, select “Change”. Enter a name and select “OK”.
The names are useful to identify the marking objects in the “Monitor” and “Marking
settings” screen.
• “Marking ON/OFF”:
Select “ON” (initial setting) to mark the object or all objects grouped in an object group.
Select “OFF” if you do not want to include an object or object group in the marking
process. These objects are masked and grayed out in the object list. The objects are still
displayed in the marking image editor.
• “Guide laser display” (LP-GS051, LP-GS051-L, LP-RC, LP-RF, LP-RV):
The “Guide laser display” check box appears for objects after setting “Marking ON/OFF”
to “OFF”.
Select the check box if you want to display masked objects with the guide laser.

Object list overview
The object list shows all marking objects and object groups of a marking file.
To display the object list, select “Object settings” on the “Marking settings” screen.
Object groups provide a way to manage all objects in your marking file. You can create new
object groups and move objects into them or move objects from one object group to another
at any time.
The following information is shown in the object list: object number, object type (code type
for bar code and 2D code objects) and object name, if it was set. If you have not specified a
name for a character and TrueType object, the input characters of the first row are displayed
