The Control Panel - Universal Laser Systems X-600 Safety, Installation, Operation, And Basic Maintenance Manual

Section 3
System Operation
From the control panel menus and buttons to focusing, loading and unloading materials, this section
covers the actual laser engraving and cutting process. If you have done so already, power ON your
computer and let it boot up completely BEFORE powering ON the laser system otherwise your laser
system can "lock up" when attempting to run the first file and the only way to clear this error is to
power the system OFF and then ON again. You do not need to turn on your exhaust system at this
time.

The Control Panel

The control panel on the laser system
provides easy access to all of the
controls necessary for cutting and
engraving operations. There are two
versions of keypads,
(European Community)
keypad and the English version
keypad. When your laser system has
finished initializing and homing, and if
all the doors are closed, the green
light, on the control panel will be
illuminated and the
indicate READY.
The RED LED and GREEN LED (Light Emitting Diode) will act differently depending on the current
state of the laser system. Please refer to the chart below.
