INSTALLATION
Section 2-3
Recommended Software Programs
All software necessary to control the VersaLASER is included. However, the software necessary to create
the artwork is NOT included. ULS recommends the following software for use with the VersaLASER:
• Graphics Programs
CorelDRAW11 (recommended)** or Macromedia Freehand
• Bitmap / Scanning Software
Adobe Photoshop (recommended) or Corel PHOTO-PAINT**
• Raster to Vector Conversion Software
Adobe Streamline (recommended) or CorelTRACE**
• CAD Software
AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT for Windows
• FONTS
Use True Type fonts ONLY. Do not use PostScript or bitmapped fonts.
**Most users purchase the CorelDRAW11 Graphics Suite package which contains all the software
necessary to operate the VersaLaser to its fullest capability. Earlier versions of CorelDRAW have
experienced problems with the XP operating system, which in turn, causes problems with the
operation of the VersaLASER. As a result ULS recommends CorelDRAW11 over earlier versions.
Whether you decide to use CorelDRAW11 or a different graphics software package, it is critical
that you fully understand how to use the software in order to successfully operate the VersaLaser.
While ULS has made reasonable efforts to make the VersaLaser as compatible as possible with
graphics and CAD software written for the Windows XP operating systems, ULS cannot guarantee
complete compatibility with any software not manufactured by ULS.
Unpacking and Assembling the VersaLASER
1. With the assistance of one or two other people, pick up the VersaLASER and place it on top of a
table strong enough to support its weight (refer to the specifications section). To lift the unit
properly, note the lifting points shown by the arrows.
2. Completely open the access door by lifting up on the handle. Remove all packing material that may
be used to secure the motion system arm during shipment. YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD OTHERWISE SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. Gently
move the arm toward and away from you. It should slide freely.
3. The motion system arm cover is hinged and is held down by magnets. Grasp the bottom of the
cover and rotate it up to expose the motion system carriage.
4. Remove any remaining packing material that may be preventing the motion system carriage from
sliding left and right. Close the cover.
NOTE: Your chosen software MUST be installed and operational before
proceeding to the next step.
