Section 2 - Installation
2.1 Unpacking and Assembling the Laser System
The laser system is shipped in one crate and is fully assembled. Remove the top and
four sides of the wooden crate. With the help of an assistant, roll the laser system off
the base of the crate and onto the floor. Store the flattened crate in a dry place. Save
the shipping crate in case the machine needs to be shipped. Remove all packing
materials such as Rubber bands, foam, and tie straps.
2.2 Operating Environment
Before the system is installed, choose a suitable location. Follow these guidelines:

Avoid places where the system may be exposed to high
temperatures, dust, or high humidity (humidity exceeding
70% or where the temperature is near the dewpoint). The
laser system should be installed in an office type environment.

Avoid places where the system may be exposed to high levels
of vibration or electrical noise. We recommend using a high
quality surge protector to protect the laser engraving system's
electronics.

Avoid small enclosed areas where ventilation is poor.

Choose a place where the ambient operating temperature will
remain between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit(15 to 25
degrees Celsius).

Choose a place which provides a short and direct path to the
exhaust duct work (not provided).

If planning to connect the laser engraving system to a
computer through the parallel port, choose a location where
the computer can be placed within 10 feet(3 meters) of the
machine since this is the maximum recommended parallel
cable length.

If planning to have another laser system or other type of
printer connected to the same computer, we recommend
installing an additional parallel port into the computer system.
DO NOT use a manual A/B type switch box. This creates
electrical noise which can cause an engraving problem or can
damage the laser system’s electronics.
