Page: 38 / 100

The “MAIN MENU”
The Main Menu will display when the system is first turned on. To access the
submenus of the Main Menu System, move the cursor with the arrow keys to the
desired submenu and press “SELECT”.
The “OPERATION DISPLAY” submenu
Then
This is the “OPERATIONS DISPLAY” submenu which will probably remain on most of
the time during normal operation. It has been designed to show all pertinent operating
information at a glance so that constantly jumping from menu to menu is not needed.
The first line indicates that the laser system’s print buffer is empty, but when the buffer
is loaded with files (or jobs), this line will display the currently selected job. To move to
the next job in the buffer press the “NEXT JOB” button. The “NEXT JOB” button only
scrolls upwards through the buffer. It is also possible to scroll forwards and backwards
through the buffer by pressing the “SELECT” button which moves the cursor to the right
side of the display. The up and down arrow keys can then be used to move through the
list of jobs in the buffer. When the desired job is found, simply press the “SELECT” key
to make that job the current job. This will move the cursor back to the left hand side of
the display. To run the currently selected job simply press the “START JOB” button.
Changing the current job is not possible while running the laser system. No other items
in this submenu can be selected or changed.
The “# OF COPIES” feature on the second line indicates the number of times the
current job has been used since it was loaded into the buffer (the system keeps a
running count of the number of times each job in the buffer has been completely
processed). The second line also contains a timer to time jobs as they are run (this is
useful for costing jobs). The timer will pause when the “PAUSE” key is pressed and
starts up again when the “RESUME” button is pressed. If the same job is run again,
the timer will count backwards displaying how much remaining time is left.
