Adobe Illustrator CS for Windows 2000/XP
Adobe Illustrator CS, in combination with the new ULS printer driver version 1.07F or later, is now
capable of both raster and vector output as well as full-field engraving capability. The following procedure
assumes that you are familiar with the use and operation of Windows 200 or XP, and Adobe Illustrator
CS.
Procedure
1. Close all Windows programs.
2. Upgrade to Adobe Illustrator CS but do not launch it yet.
3. Upgrade to ULS printer driver version 1.07F or later.
4. Set your Windows default printer to the ULS printer driver.
5. Launch Adobe Illustrator CS and start a new graphic.
6. You will now need to set the Page Setup, in Adobe, to the largest square page that is equal to the
width of your laser systems field. For example, if your laser system has a 24 x 12 inch field, then
set the page setup in Adobe to 24 x 24 inch Portrait mode (not Landscape). If you laser system
has a 32 x 18 inch field, set the page setup in Adobe to 32 x 32 Portrait.
7. Now, place your graphics ONLY within the top portion of your page in Adobe. Don’t use the
bottom portion that extends below the physical size of the engraving area of your machine. Since
your laser system truly doesn’t have a usable area as big as the page size you created, the only
way to make Adobe work is to trick it into thinking it is outputting to a larger, square-fielded,
device.
8. If you would like vector output, in Adobe, set your stroke weight to either .001 inches or .1 points.
You will have to type in this setting because it is not available from the dropdown list.
