5 Control Panel Instructions

5.1 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 laser 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 arrow keys can be used to move the laser head along the X and Y-axis
guide rails and the button can be used to fire the laser. The laser head can be set to tab over
a set distance each time the arrow buttons are pressed by hitting and adjusting the parameters
under Manual Set+. The laser can be set to fire for a fixed period by pressing and adjusting the
parameters under Laser Set+. All of the buttons and menus should be labelled in English. If they are
not, press and go to the top button in the right column to change the console's language settings.
To load a design from a FAT16 or FAT32 formatted flash disk or external hard drive, press 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 design on your material four times in a single session.
