Section 5
Making a Sample
We will now illustrate how to use the laser system to create a product from start to finish. As an example,
we will raster engrave and vector cut a key chain from a 2 by 4 inch, 1/8 inch thick piece of hardwood. It
is preferable to use a hardwood such as Cherry or Walnut as opposed to grainy wood such as Oak or a
manufactured product such as plywood or melamine.
NOTE: In order to make a proper sample verify you have followed all Installation
instructions up to this point.
Step 1 – Loading and Positioning the Material
Open the top door and position the piece of wood (1) into the upper
left corner of the table, against the rulers, as the diagram indicates.
If the piece of wood is bigger than the example then use the rulers to
measure the size of the piece.
Step 2 – Creating the Graphic
Verify that the page size, in your graphic software,
matches the ULS printer driver’s maximum page size.
We recommend that you always leave the page size
set to the maximum for your system and position your
graphic accordingly. Create some text with a
BLACK
colored fill and NO outline. For example, type in the
word “KEYCHAIN”. Draw an outline box around the
text, color the outline
RED , give the outline a thickness
of .00005 inches (or the smallest possible line width),
remove the fill color (if any), and round the edges if
desired. Now add a circle with the same
RED outline
.00005 inches (or the smallest possible line width) and NO fill, for the key ring.

Position the graphic, on your computer screen, relative to size of the wood and how the piece of wood is
positioned in the engraving area.
If you are not familiar with your graphics program run a few tutorials and become familiar with the
graphics program. If tutorials were not provided you may have to learn the software on your own by
experimenting with the software.
