While this feature can affect engraving times, it is not the recommended method of adjusting
engraving speed. Normally you would adjust the engraving speed either from the print driver
or from the "SETUP" menu on the LCD.
h. Ramp Compensation: "RAMP COMPENSATION" controls the distance of over-shoot that
the carriage has when it gets to the end of each engraving line. The Ramp Compensation
counter has a numeric range from 0 (zero) to 10. The higher the number (10), the greater the
distance that the carriage will over-shoot. Higher numbers will increase the amount of time
that it takes to complete a job. Depending on the type of image that you are producing, the
"RAMP COMPENSATION" can be adjusted to provide the best combination of quality and
speed. Fine details or demanding graphics should be run using the factory settings. Large
block lettering or less demanding images can be run at values of 1 or 2 to increase production
speeds.

3. Vector Test: Not enabled. Reserved for future use.
4. Raster Test: Not enabled. Reserved for future use.
5. Disable Axes: This feature allows you to disable the electrical current to the X and Y axis motors.
Disabling the current allows you to move the carriage freely by hand to any point on the
engraving/cutting surface. Disabling the axes provides a means to quickly focus on an uneven surface in
either standard engraving mode or it is particularly helpful for focusing when using the Rotary
Attachment.
a. In the "SERVICE" menu highlight "DISABLE AXES". Press "ENTER". You are now able
to move the carriage freely without any resistance from the motors.
b. Pressing "REBOOT" is the only way to re-enable the axes.
