of the focusing lens. Always measure the working distance from the
bottom of the focusing lens mount.
Configuration
The Configuration section includes subsections:

Stand-alone development

Stand-alone automation

Stand-alone, Master Control File
Before proceeding with stand-alone configuration, you should have already tested FH Flyer operation in
WinMark control mode as described by the Initial start-up section in the Operation chapter.
FH Flyer’s stand-alone mode allows you to work manually (during project development, for example)
and then move to a completely automated, “hands-off” method when Flyer is totally integrated into your
automated marking system.
Stand-alone development
Hardware/software setup
1 Ensure that you have completed all the connections listed in the Getting Started chapter including
USB or Ethernet connections. If using an Ethernet connection, refer to the Configuration section in
the Getting Started chapter for information on setting Ethernet parameters.
2 Power up the FH Flyer head and allow 30 seconds for the operating system to boot.
3 Open WinMark Pro and go to the “Device” tab under Tools / General Settings… .
4 Locate the Standalone Marking property and set it to Yes.
5 Choose a Standalone Mark Log Level depending on the amount of information you want FH Flyer
to report back to the computer—Normal is the default setting.
6 Verify that Use Control File and Mark On Startup properties are set to No.
7 Click Apply to save the new settings and then click OK to exit the General Settings dialog.
Prepare to mark
1 Open an existing drawing to mark or click New on the File menu and create a mark file—a simple
shape or text object will suffice for this test.
