Owner's Manual for EPILOG Legend Model 6000
AVOIDING COMMON PRINT PROBLEMS:
Your Legend will begin to engrave as soon as the engraver has received the first line of data from
the computer. This has the advantage of reducing the total time required for engraving, as the
machine is not idle while the job is being loaded.
Printing problems are normally related to stopping, resetting or trying to repeat a job before the
computer has been allowed enough time to transmit the entire job. If you do interrupt a job,
whatever was left of the job you interrupted will be the first thing the computer will send when you
press GO on the engraver, unless you take precautions to clear it out. To avoid most common print
problems, ALWAYS double click on the Legend printer icon (under settings, printers) to check for
partial jobs if you interrupt a job in progress. They can then be canceled or deleted with the pull
down menus.
Problem: Engraver will not vector.
Solution:
Please verify that the print driver is set to "vector" or "combined".
Verify that your artwork is correct for vectoring.
-
Scanned images will not vector.
-
Filled or solid images will not vector (outlines only).
-
If you are using Corel 3.0 or Corel 5.0, verify that line width is .007 or less.
-
If you are using Corel 6.0 or Corel 7.0, the line width is DPI dependent.
-
If you are vectoring at 600 DPI, then your line width must be .001.
-
If you are vectoring at 300 DPI, then your line width must be .003.
Problem: Engraver beeps and displays "IDLE" but no engraving took place.
Solution:
Please verify that the page size in your drawing program is the same as the piece size in the print
driver. If you are still experiencing the same problem, you will need to go into Windows Setup and
verify page size. Click on Start, move up to Setting and click on Printers. Highlight proper printer
then click on File, Properties, Details, and Setup. Verify the page size there and change if needed.
Assure that the "Measurement System" in Windows is set to "U.S.". To accomplish this click on
"Start", "Control Panel", "Regional Settings", "Number".
Verify that your artwork is as you intended. Some programs have a "wire frame" preview that won't
remind you that you are using white letters on a white background.
Problem: Will not print text or text does not print correctly.
Solution:
Some operations with Text in some versions of CorelDRAW require the text to be converted to
curves. This command is located in one of the pull down menus.
