The Tool Setup window will appear. Select the appropriate material from the Material Selection drop
down list. In this example, the material - Metals(Diamond Drag) is selected. Then click on OK.
Since we are running a file for the first time, we will select the Dry Run option from the Cut Toolbox.
Make sure the "D" appears by selecting it. The default is "Off" for the Dry Run, which will engrave the
plate. We want to make sure our file has been set up properly in this example and that the material is
positioned correctly.
NOTE - Dry Run Operation - There is an offset between the spindle and the red laser pointer of
approximately 0.38 inches (9.6 mm) in the X and 0.44 inches (11.2 mm) in the Y directions. Therefore,
if the characters to be engraved extend beyond 7.56 inches (192 mm) X (to the right) and 5.62 inches
(142.7 mm) Y (toward the bottom) of the machine's home position, the file will not run because the
spindle would have to move beyond its limits.
When ready to send the file to the engraver, make sure the engraver's power switch is turned on and
the machine has initialized, then select the Engrave icon from the Cut Toolbox.
