using the Epilog Integrated Vacuum Table. Simply place it on the table flush
against the upper and left hand rulers. Then cover any remaining holes in the
metal table with scrap material or a made jig. This will create a semi-suction and
hold the piece of material in place. The material can also be held with a variety of
materials such as masking tape, PlayDoh, magnets, etc. Creating jigs is also an
excellent method of holding materials that are high volume, or high value.
Engraving or cutting a jig to match an unusual shape is very easy to do.
Focus on your material
In order to engrave or cut a crisp clean image, your material must be the correct
distance from the bottom of the focus lens. Setting the distance from the bottom
of the focus lens to the top of your material is the process of focusing, and is
accomplished by placing your material on the table and moving the table up or
down. There are two different methods of focusing – Manual or Auto Focus.
Manual Focus
The photo below shows the “V” shaped manual focus gauge that is used to
determine the correct distance from the focus lens to the top of your material.
This gauge is included in your Accessories Kit that comes with your system.
Place the manual focus gauge on the carriage and place the object to be cut or
engraved in the upper-left corner of the machine. Use the arrow keys on the
control panel to highlight the light next to the word
Focus
. You can now move

up or down to move the table appropriately until your material just
touches the bottom of the gauge. The speed at which the table rises or lowers can
be controlled by applying varying pressure upwards or downwards on the
