Chapter 3 Operation

Rubber
This mode is used for making rubber stamps. This mode causes the laser to
create a tapered profile on the edge of the engraving. This gives small graphics
more strength, preventing them from folding over when used. The profile of the
edge depends on the power settings on the Power Scale tab. You can create
custom profiles, but the default generally works well. You many notice that the
Offset input box becomes available when the Rubber mode is selected. The
Offset function will automatically increase the boldness of the engraving. The
primary benefit of the offset feature is the improved quality of small text.
Gray(3D)
This mode is used for engraving three dimensional images. The driver uses 256
shades of gray to vary the amount of power from the laser generator. Darker
colors of gray engrave at higher powers and lighter shades engrave at lower
powers. If the 16 Levels option is enabled the driver converts the image into 16
shades of gray and the Power Scale tab is used to control the power used for
each shade of gray.
2. Advanced Mode
B&W mode
This option converts all raster objects’ colors to black and white and uses the
black laser setting for engraving. This mode still uses eight color settings to cut
vector objects.
Mirror
This mode will mirror the images horizontally for reverse engraving. This is
useful when engraving on the backs of transparent materials such as acrylic.
However, we suggest mirroring your images in the graphics program which will
allow you to accurately preview the engraving before the job is sent to the
engraver.
Pulse Mode
This mode can be enabled for drilling holes. For details on holes drilling, contact
technical support.
3. Resolution
The only variable in the resolution section is DPI otherwise known as dots per
inch. The DPI setting controls the dot density of the engraver when raster
engraving. This setting affects the resolution along the X and Y axis. Higher DPI
settings result in smoother edges but also require more time to engrave
