Custom (Cutting table)
This setting is used to set the height offset from the engraving table of any fixtures such as the cutting
table or any custom fixtures you might use to support the material to be processed. This value is used
along with the material thickness to move the Z axis to the proper focus height when using the auto Z
mode.
Material Editor (Only available for customer materials - New or Cloned)
This section of the driver allows you to edit new or cloned custom materials you have added to the materials
database. Please note that you cannot edit any of the standard materials that come with the printer driver.
They are read only. You can create new materials in one of two ways. Right clicking on a category and
selecting
New Material creates a blank material record that you can fill in. Right clicking on an existing
material and selecting clone allows you to make a copy of an existing material and then edit it. Creating or
editing materials records requires knowledge of the Manual Control features. Learn more about the Manual
Control Tab in the Manual Control section of the User Guide.
