Paper Size (Paper Page)
The paper size represents your total work area. Ensure that the paper size is never set greater
than the C180II's worktable area of 18" x 12" (458 mm x 305 mm). The X value represents the
length and the Y value represents the width.
NOTE
When using the optional rotary attachment system and with the Rotary Fixture option
checked, the X value represents the length of your working piece. The Y value will be
changed to Diameter, which represents the diameter of your working piece (at the
position you wish to engrave).
Unit (Paper Page) [DEFAUL T SETTING: Metric (mm)]
Here you can set your preferred measurement standard in which you would like use with the
C180II print driver. You can choose between metric or imperial standards.
Image T uning (Paper Page) [DEFAUL T SETTING: 0]
In the event that you are processing extremely fine and detailed designs requiring near-microscopic
edge-to-edge precision, you will need to adjust the image tuning setting. To adjust this setting, we
recommend you engrave a small black square design as a sample and apply a magnifying glass to the
engraved results.
When you look at your engraved test square under a magnifying glass, you may notice the edges of
your square may be slightly offset, with every consecutive engraved even or odd line protruding past
the square's ideal edge. This occurrence may occur on the left or right side of the square and can be
compensated for by the image tuning setting. In the diagram below, the arrows refer to the direction
the laser head is moving to generate that engraved line. If the first and every other line protrude to the
left of the square's ideal edge, you will want to set the image tuning to a negative value. If the first and
every other consecutive line protrude to the right of the square's ideal edge, you will want to set the
image tuning to a positive value. The further the protruding lines are from the square's ideal edge, the
larger you will need to set the Image Tuning value to compensate.
Square's Left Edge
The following is an example that has the proper image tuning, and demonstrates this
significance when engraving fine, small, intricate text. The following two pictures show engraved
text magnified with no image tuning (left picture) and image tuning enabled (right picture).
