Reset Home Position; Red Dot Pointer - Epilog Fusion M2 32 Manual

SECTION 10: SYSTEM FEATURES
2. After all of the raster objects have all been engraved, the vector objects will be vectored in the order they appear in
the Summary section of the tab. Any other vector objects that are not color mapped will then be vectored using the
vector settings found in the General Tab.
For most jobs, Color Mapping is a powerful and easy tool to use and understand. Please keep in mind that
because you can control seven different variables and 17 different colors doesn't mean that you should. With
so many different settings available in a single setup it has the potential to get overly complicated. Sometimes
it's easier to scale back on how many colors a job should use.

sub-menu, then tilt the Joystick to the right to reset the Home Position.

Position Your Artwork
This is a popular use for the Red Dot Pointer and is one of the easiest ways to make sure each project you run
is going to engrave or cut in the correct position. Learn this easy task and use it!
1. For a visual representation of the engraving area on a project, create a box around your engraving area with a stroke
width of .001" (.025 mm).
2. On the General Tab set a vector setting of 0% power. With the door of the Fusion raised so the laser won't fire,
run the job. The Red Dot Pointer will outline the area where the job will run, so you can make sure that you have
the correct positioning before running any job. (Setting the power to 0% will also protect you in case you forget to
leave the door open).
3. Now you can reposition the artwork, or the piece you area engraving, so you have a perfectly located engraving
project.
