b. Press "RESET" to move the carriage back to Home Position.
2. Calibrate: The "CALIBRATE" menu allows you to set or change a number of the machines operating
parameters.
a. X-Home: This function calibrates the home position of the machine relative to the left table
guide. This parameter is set at the factory and normally does not need to be changed. This
function allows you to change home without moving the table guide. The Home position
counter provides a relative position and has a numeric range that starts at –200 and
increments to 0 (zero). If you need to adjust the home position, do the following:
i. Open CorelDraw or other drawing package and draw a square box on the page so that
ii. Adjust the X Home counter, press the "ENTER" key, and print the box to the Legend
iii. Repeat this procedure if necessary for fine-tuning.
iv. Incrementing the X Home counter will shift the position of the engraved box to your

vi. Once home is properly set, go to "OPTIONS" on the LCD panel then "SAVE
b. Y-Home: This function calibrates the home position of the machine relative to the top table
guide. Refer to the X Home procedure above to set the Y Home position.
i. Incrementing the Y Home counter will shift the position of the engraved box up
ii. Decrementing the Y Home counter will shift the position of the engraved box down
c. X Rotary Home: Not enabled. Reserved for future use.
d. Y Rotary Home: Not enabled. Reserved for future use.
e. Laser Match: "LASER MATCH" provides a horizontal adjustment that properly aligns the
left to right registration of the engraved lines when in raster engraving mode. This setting has
a range of –10 to 10 and is factory set. This setting is determined visually and a setting of 2
or 3 is standard. Once Laser Match is properly set, go to "OPTIONS" on the LCD panel then
"SAVE SETTINGS" to permanently save the new settings. Failure to "SAVE SETTINGS"
will result in the laser returning to the default settings the next time that you power down the
Legend.
f. Stamp Match: same function as laser match only for rubber stamps. Typically this is set to
around 50.
g. Acceleration Compensation: "ACCELERATION COMPENSATION" is a speed control and
controls how quickly the carriage changes direction in the raster mode. It does not change the
actual speed that the carriage is traveling, it only changes the turn around time. The
acceleration counter has a numeric range from 0 (zero) to 10. The higher the number (10),
the faster the carriage turns around, which results in faster job processing times. Depending
on the type of image that you are producing, the "ACCELERATION COMPENSATION"
can be adjusted to provide the best combination of quality and speed. Fine details or
