3.5 Control Computer Installation
See the separate engraving software manual for details on the requirements for the control computer. The control
computer should not be placed more than 4.5 m (15 feet) away from the fibre laser marker in order to avoid possible
interference to the signal in its line. Familiarise yourself with your software's image design features and laser control
settings before beginning operation of the laser itself.
4. Operation
4.1 Operation Overview
Operate this laser marking machine only in accordance with all the instructions provided in this manual. Failure to
follow the proper guidelines detailed here can result in property damage and personal injury.
This section will address only some of the options and features provided by the operation software. Before beginning to
use the machine, make sure that you have read this entire manual (particularly the Safety Information above), the
separate software manual, and any and all warnings provided on the machine itself.
4.2 General Operation Instructions
Step 1. Load or create a design in EZCad.
Step 2. Put on your protective eyewear. Ensure that anyone else who might bet exposed to direct or reflected
laser beams is also wearing protective eyewear as described in §2.4.
Step 3. Turn on the laser marker by pressing the power buttons from left to right in order:
1. Mainboard
2. Scanner
3. Laser
Pressing the buttons out of order may cause electrical hazards as the separate power supplies are
grounded in order. Do not press the buttons too quickly. Give each power supply time to come on line,
activating its fans. 3 seconds is sufficient.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, once the engraver is on, try to touch its components with only one
hand at a time.
