Owner`s manual

ii. In Print Setup, choose Landscape and adjust to 100 percent.
iii. In Page Setup, choose Same as Paper Setup.
iv. In Drawing Setup, choose 1:1.
Make sure the above is correct and do not proceed until this is correct!
b. Use different colors for lines and engraving fills to designate different power, speed, and
PPI settings. Power, speed, and PPI for each of eight preselected colors can be set in File-
>Print->Properties->LaserSettings. The colors, in cutting order, are black, red, green,
yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and orange. These can be set for raster (engrave) and/or
vector (cut), or skip (off) in the―Laser Settings described above. The colors must be pure
colors such as RED = RGB 255,0,0 and blue = RGB 0,0,255.
c. A single color setting applies to both vector and raster operations drawn in that color. The
raster and cut depths are not the same for power, speed, and PPI. It‘s best to keep engrave
and cut colors separate.
d. For the Quality/Throughput setting, use 6, the highest setting, in Print Properties.
e. If engraving a gray-scale image (using the color black), the engraving power will be
inversely proportional to the gray level, and black will result in the highest power/deepest
engraving.
f. If cutting closely spaced features, high powers and low speeds might cause distortions or
re-melting of these features, especially along the thin walls separating the pieces. Use
multiple passes at lower power and/or cooling off periods between cuts on adjacent sides
of thin features. Pauses can be implemented by slow speed and low power on scrap areas.
You should be aware that Delrin is extremely susceptible to catching on fire and
not self-extinguishing under these conditions. When cutting close to a recent cut,
such as a thin wall, or cutting close to an edge, in our experience, the thin piece might
catch on fire with a dim blue flame and might not go out. In our experience, you can
avoid this situation either by not cutting near thin pieces or close to an edge or by
delaying the adjacent cuts on thin-wall features. You can force a vector color change
to cause a pause when cutting lines near each other.
Based on our experience, we strongly recommend you avoid cutting thin pieces of
Delrin that could catch fire easily. In the above diagram, the black lines are cut first,
then the red lines. If there are other black and/or lines in the diagram, this will insert
an effective delay between when these black and red lines are cut, enabling the thin
part to cool down between cuts. Alternately, you can execute a slow, low-power
vector cut in a scrap area to generate an effective pause between colors cut.
g. In Print->Properties->LaserSettings, you can choose Skip, Vect/Rast, Vect, or Rast for
each color.
i. Skip will result in no action to objects drawn in that color.
ii. Vect/Rast will raster/engrave fat lines and filled areas and vector/cut thin lines. I
don‘t recommend using this. You should explicitly direct the operation as a cut or an
engraving.
