710. JOG BUTTONS.
Four green arrow keys pointing UP (7), DOWN (9), LEFT (8), and
RIGHT (10).
a. In Fast or Slow XY (Modes 0 and 1), the buttons move the laser head left/right
and front/back.
b. In File Select (Mode 3) the up and down buttons scroll through the loaded

PRO TIP! During a job only the LOCK/UNLOCK, CANCEL and UP/DOWN JOG buttons
function. All other function buttons are disabled.
LOCK/UNLOCK pauses/resumes the job.
CANCEL cancels the job.
UP/DOWN JOG BUTTONS allow you to adjust the job power on
the fly. Scale is from 0 (no power) to 255 (full power). We don't
recommend going over 180 with Hobby system lasers, due to that they
go over 180 the tube rated life will decrease.
