  • Page 118 Lower DPI settings result in coarser and shallower engravings, but require less time to complete. The LaserPro Spirit Series offers 8 DPI options: 125, 250, 300, 380, 500, 600, 760, 1000, and 1500 experiment with different settings to get your desired effect.
  • Page 119 Print from your graphic software program. If Print Immediately is not checked, then selecting Print will transfer the job file to the LaserPro Spirit Series system and will need to be initialized from the LaserPro Spirit Series control panel.
  • Page 120 T ip There is a greater performance gain when enabling SmartACT for designs that are vertically longer than they are horizontally wide, as the SmartACT optimization modifies the movement of the X-axis of the lens carriage. Preview (Options Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: Unselected] Users can use the Preview function to check a simulated output of the job.
  • Page 121 After entering the filename and pressing <ok>, the Preview screen will be shown. The output file can be previewed and an estimated working time of the job is also displayed. File Function (Options Page): The file function section allows you to manage various laser parameters. This section is useful when performing duplicate jobs on a variety of objects, allowing you to save your frequently used laser parameters and load them in the future.

    This checkbox sets the Auto Focus for that particular job. With the Auto Focus button checked, the Spirit will automatically initialize the auto focus procedure before starting the job. This will ensure the focal distance is properly set based on the particular material you are working with and the focal lens you have installed.
  • Page 128 Scaling (Advanced Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: 0] In some cases you may find a slight output inaccuracy in the actual output compared to what you have set in the computer. This margin of error or offset is extremely small (approximately 1/300). What this means is that there may be a 1-unit offset for every 300 unit increments.
  • Page 129 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.
  • Page 130 multiple layers adhesive materials, such as lettering vinyl, heat transfer film, and twill film. This function allows allocating different parameters for corresponding decal layer numbers to do die cut (cut through media) for the unwanted parts, and kiss-cut (half cut) for the kept material parts, after the laser cutting, users can just peel off the materials to get rid of waste parts.
  • Page 131 Enhanced Vector Mode (Advanced Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: Unselected] This setting allows you to improve the cutting quality at the expense of speed. Your engraving speed will be dropped by 50%, to maximize the cutting power. We recommend that you enable this function when cutting thicker materials.
  • Page 132 distance value can be set by the user and represents the limit or cutoff point in which side-by-side objects will be processed in Cluster mode or not. If the distance between side-by-side objects is greater than the set distance value, then the individual areas will be processed in Cluster mode. Conversely, if the distance between side-by-side objects is lesser than the set distance value, then the individual areas will be processed normally (not via Cluster mode).
