Reference
• The condition Nos. 31 and after cannot be set and read out. (NAK09 is returned.)
• When the start line/end line is 31 to 99; font is 3 to 10, marking shape is proportional, arc radius and line width of bold
character; laser power correction, speed scan correction and laser pulse cycle correction are out of the setting range of
the LP-F10/LP-F10W, readout cannot be performed. (NAK15 is returned.)
• At the time of setting, the character height, character width and X coordinate are converted according to the definition of
the LP-M/LP-S/LP-Z series so that they have the same layout, and at the time of readout, they are converted according
to the definition of the LP-F10/LP-F10W. If any of the character height, character width and X coordinate exceeds the
setting range in this conversion, NAK09 is returned at the time of setting and NAK15 is returned at the time of readout.
• In readout response, the digit of 1 μm or 0.01° is rounded down. (Excluding the items with conversion process.)
• When the marking shape is proportional, the kerning level should be set to level 2 that is supported by LP-F10/LP-F10W.
• When the setting is performed using this command, the start point of the character string is set to the leftmost and the
layer No. is "0".
• Setting with this command in the LP-F10W mode, the laser pulse cycle correction is set to 100%.
• For LP-SxxxW type, the laser pulse cycle correction setting does not affect the marking. Also this setting is not saved in
the file.
• At marking of bold characters, set the values so ratio of character height to character width be within 1/10 to 10.
• Set the Bold line width to 1/2 or less of the character height or the character width, whichever is smaller.
