different shades of gray. The laser system represents different shades of gray by
producing a halftone pattern when engraving. The halftone pattern is based upon the
Resolution setting of the driver the same way grayscale bitmaps are interpreted. Since
ClipArt images use a wide variety of colors, shades, and outlines, the only effective
way of engraving these images is to have this switch turned ON. B/W RASTER mode
also provides greater compatibility with Windows software that do not work well with
vector devices such as the ULS laser system. Call our technical support if there seems
to be a compatibility problem with a particular software program.
Page Setup and Orientation
Input here lets the ULS Windows Printer Driver know what page size and orientation is
being used in the graphics software. These settings
MUST match the graphics software
settings EXACTLY otherwise no output, partial output, or misalignment of the graphic
will occur. It is up to the operator to enter in the correct settings. Not only must the
page size be
EXACT , but the orientation must be the same also. Remember, the
maximum page size is horizontal length of 24 inches(609.6 mm) and vertical length of
18 inches(457.2 mm) in the Landscape mode. Select the “Metric” box if metric units are
desired.
Rotary Fixture
It is only necessary to use this selection if the optional Rotary Fixture has been
purchased. For full details on how to use this option, please refer to Section 4.5. Do
not skip over to that section until the rest of this manual, up to that section, has been
read. There is important information about the operation of the laser system that must
be read before being able to fully understand how to operate the Rotary Fixture.
Rubber Stamp and Invert Fill
These two selections will only appear in the driver if the Rubber Stamp option has been
purchased. For a full explanation on how to use this option, refer to Section 4.6.
Again, please read the rest of this manual up to that point before attempting to use this
option. A full understanding of how the laser system works is essential to producing
correct results.
File
A unique feature of the driver is being able to store the power settings that are currently
on screen. By selecting “File” and then “Save Setup File”, all settings will be stored in a
file that can be named as desired. The file extension, however, must remain as .LAS
for the driver to recognize this file as a setup file. These files can be stored in any
directory and may be retrieved by selecting “File” and then “Load Setup File”.
