• SmartCENTER: The SmartCENTER mode is an enhanced version of the center mode and will
determine the center point between two/four positions. User can pinpoint and save two or four
distinct points by moving the pen carriage and using the red beam as a reference. When this
mode is selected, the machine will prompt the user to move the lens carriage to store the location
of the first position and then prompt the user to move the lens carriage again to store a second
position or continue to a 3rd and a 4th position depending on whether the 2-point mode is
selected or the 4-point mode is selected. Once the positions are stored, the pen carriage will
automatically position itself to the center of the saved positions.
TIP
1. The SmartCENTER function is a quick and easy way to precisely locate
the center point between two points or four points. It is a great tool for
users whose jobs often require engraving on specific locations such as on
award signs and plaques.
2. It is highly recommended you enable the red dot laser pointer when
setting / adjusting the Position Modes, as this will ease your job
positioning with enhanced accuracy.
Image Output Direction (Advanced Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: Top to
Bottom]
These selections allow you to control the direction in which the system processes an engraved
image.
• Top To Bottom: Selecting this will force the system to process the current task by moving the lens
carriage from the top to the bottom of the image (rear end to front end of the work table).
• Bottom To Top: Selecting this will force the system to process the current task by moving the lens
carriage from the bottom to the top of the image (front end to rear end of the work table)
Normally, the LaserPro Spirit Series engraves from left to right, top to bottom. Selecting Bottom
Up will alter the engraving sequence and the engraving will start from the bottom and work its
way to the rear of the working table.
TIP
In situations where the material you will be working with may produce a lot of
dust byproducts and you are utilizing the optional air extraction system, it is
recommended that you select the Bottom To Top image output direction
option. This will minimize the amount of dust byproducts lodged in the
engraved sections as the air extraction system is vented from the rear of the
machine, the same direction as the image is processed.
Border (Advanced Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: Unselected]
In cases where you are working with a negative image (negative outline areas of your image are
engraved, rather than the positive areas), you may wish to include a border around your image.
To properly add a border, you will first need to Invert your design from the Options Page, then
check Use Border and specify a value for the thickness of the border you would like to add to
your design.
