Color Mapping Functions
Speed: Applies a speed setting for all objects of the same color.
Power: Applies a power setting for all objects of the same color.
Freq: Applies a frequency setting for all objects of the same color.
Focus: Sets the focus distance for a color. This setting uses increments of 10 and each increment of ten will change the
table height by 0.001" (0.0254 mm). Change the slider in increments of ten by clicking directly on the plus or minus icons.
• Any time the focus setting is a positive number it means the table is being moved
away from the focus lens. In other words, a positive number indicates that the gap
between the table and the focus lens is getting greater (increasing).
• Any time the focus setting is a negative number it means the table is being moved
closer to the focus lens. In other words, a negative number indicates that the gap
between the table and the focus lens is getting smaller (decreasing).
• The Focus slider has a range of -500 to +3000. This range allows the user to move the table closer to the lens by as
much as 0.50" (a setting of -500), or move the table away from the lens by as much as 3" (a setting of 3000).
Raster: With this box checked, all raster objects set to that color will be processed at the color mapped settings; however,
this function will still not allow a vector line set to a Vector stroke width to engrave.
Vector: With this box checked, all vector objects set to that color will be processed at the color mapped settings; however,
this function will still not allow a raster object to be processed as a vector.
Air Assist: With this box checked, all objects will be processed with Air Assist turned on.
Using Color Mapping for Multiple Speed and Power Settings
A fairly typical use for vector color mapping is in the architectural industry and making models. Users want to lightly mark
one part of the work piece and cut out another part of the same piece.
