Photolaser Plus - Epilog Fusion M2 32 Manual

SECTION 11: OPTIONAL FEATURES

PhotoLaser Plus

The PhotoLaser Plus software package (PLP) is an optional
addition to your Epilog Laser System created by CadLink
that provides an easy method of transforming photographs
for your laser engraver, as well as incorporating variable
badge making features. This software is not intended
to replace your other graphic layout software, such as
CorelDRAW or Illustrator; however it is a great complement
to your other software.
Epilog only supports PhotoLaser Plus and badge layout
functions in the software. The full EngraveLab software is
a powerful standalone graphics package. Support for the
full EngraveLab is available through CadLink.
Setting Up the PLP Software
Epilog has teamed up with CadLink to bring you a special
custom version of PhotoLaser Plus designed to only be
used with an Epilog Laser system. Primary functions
such as printing, Copy, Paste, etc are unavailable unless
an Epilog print driver has been established as the default
printer within PLP.
1. Go to Devices and Printers on your computer and
check your print driver's name to be sure the word
Epilog is included. If it is, you are ready to install the
software.
2. If the word Epilog is not included in the laser's
name, right click on the icon for the laser and select
Printer Properties.
3. In the General tab, change the name of the printer in
the first field to include the word Epilog.
4. Insert the CD that came with the software into the
disk drive and follow the prompts for a Full Install.
5. After the install is complete, you will need to activate
PLP. Open the software and click the OK key on the
pop-up screen.
6. Place any graphic on the page. This can be an
object, text, or an imported image. Print it by going
to File then Print.
