5 Operation
5.8 Control Panel Instructions
5.8.1 Overview
You can control your engraver directly from the built-in control panel, through a direct connection
with your computer, or over the internet. For details on operating your engraving software, see
its separate manual. The built-in control panel can operate the lasers manually or engrave designs
loaded onto flash drives and external hard drives connected to the USB port on the right side of the
cabinet.
For manual operation, the direction keys can be used to move the laser head(s) along the X- and
Y-axes guide rails and the Pulse button can be used to fire the laser(s). The laser heads can be set
to tab over a set distance every time the direction buttons are pressed by pressing Menu, selecting
Functions, and adjusting the parameters under Manual Setting. The laser(s) can be set to fire for
a fixed period by pressing Menu, selecting Functions, and adjusting the parameters under Laser
Setting. All of the buttons and menus should be labeled in English. If they are not, press Menu,
select the fourth option on the left and press Enter, press Enter again to select the first option on
the left and change the console's language settings.
To load a design from a FAT16 or FAT32 formatted flash disk or external hard drive, press File and
then select Udisk and Copy to Memory. Select the design in the File menu and then select Run.
Various parameters can be adjusted using the console's menus and submenus, including setting
multiple origin points to engrave the same design on your material up to eight times in a single
session.
