Mercury II User Manual
around your image. To properly add a border, you will first need to Invert your design from
the Option Page, then check Use Border and specify a value for the thickness of the
border you would like to add to your design.
This mode is useful for engraving rubber stamps, as it allows you to create the outline
around your stamp image.
NOTE
If you wish to use the Border and Cluster function simultaneously, then the Border
Thickness value must be
less than
the Distance value specified in the Cluster
setting.
Vector Function (Advance Page)
[DEFAULT SETTING: Normal]
•
Normal:
This selection will not apply any special advanced vector function to your job.
This is the default Vector Function setting.
•
All Raster Output:
This selection will instruct the print driver to process your entire
image as a raster engraving. Any vector lines within the image will be treated as raster
data and outputted as a raster engraving, similar to a dot-matrix printer.
•
Vector Sorting:
When performing a vector cutting job in which your image has one
vector cut area enclosed within another vector cut area, select the Vector Sorting
mode. This mode will automatically instruct the print driver to process the inside vector
image and moving outwards. If you try to process a vector image that has multiple
layers without using this mode, what may occur is the laser engraver may process the
outer vector cutting first, and any inner vector cutting will not be possible as your
centerpiece material may have dropped to the cutting table. This setting will always
automatically direct the laser to cut from the inner most vector shape and move
outwards.
•
Optimization Sorting:
This is a setting that will minimize your process time. When
selected, the print driver will analyze your image and automatically determine the most
efficient processing path to process your image.
Use Cluster (Advance Page)
[DEFAULT SETTING: Unselected]
This setting allows you to change how the Mercury II interprets and processes individual /
independent areas of an image in order to minimize job-processing times. The Cluster
function is only applicable when multiple areas of an image are broken down and isolated
from each other (areas not touching each other, blank space in-between). Another
condition that must be met for the Cluster function is that these individual areas of your
design must have some X-axis overlap, meaning that they should be to some extent
side-by-side with empty spaces between them. The distance value can be set by the user
and represents the limit or cutoff point in which side-by-side objects will be processed in
Cluster mode or not. If the distance between side-by-side objects is greater than the set
distance value, then the individual areas will be processed in Cluster mode. Conversely, if
the distance between side-by-side objects is lesser than the set distance value, then the
individual areas will be processed normally (not via Cluster mode).
