ALT button
- The ALT button is used to access different functions. Typically this button will
need to be held down and another button pressed at the same time to access the function.
Set Surface button
- The set surface button is used to set the surface point of the material
you are engraving. The procedure for setting the surface is as follows:
a) Use the X & Y jog buttons to move the spindle over the material to be engraved.
b) Press the Set Surface button. The LCD screen will display the message below for approximately 3
seconds. NOTE: The Set Surface button will flash green.
c) Once the message above disappears, press and hold down the Z down jog button until the spindle
touches the engraving material.
d) Press the Start button to set this as the surface position. The spindle will then move up to its lift
position.
HINT:
It is sometimes easier to set the surface right before engraving the job. To do this, send a job to
the machine to be engraved. Press Pause. Press Start. The spindle will move to the first point to be
engraved and pause. You can then jog the Z down until it touches the surface and press Start to set the
surface. Then press Start and the job will engrave.

ALT + Set Surface button
- When you hold down the ALT button and press the Set
Surface button, the red pointer will power on. Holding down the ALT button and pressing Set Surface
again will power the red pointer off.
Goto Home button
- When you press the Goto Home button, the engraver will return to the
top left corner of the T-Slot table, which is the machine's main home position. Pressing this while a job is
running will lift the spindle up, move to the home position and cancel the job from the machine.
IMPORTANT: When the machine is first powered on, the Goto Home button must be pressed in order to
set the home position of the machine before running any jobs.

ALT + Goto Home button
- When you hold down the ALT button and press the
Goto Home button, the engraver will return to the top left corner of the T-Slot table and "re-home". This is
used if the machine has lost position for some reason.
