3-4 System Operation

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

The LCD is a four line display that displays the menus that control the laser system. It is a backlit type of display that enhances visibility even under low light environments.

When the laser system is powered on, the laser system will perform a series of routines. “INITIALIZING” will display until the motion system and electronics have finished their routines. When completed, the display will then read “READY”, signifying that the laser system is ready to accept files.

DO NOT download files until the display reads “READY” as this can lead to an incorrect or corrupted file download. Corrupted file downloads can lead to an incorrect firing of the laser which can destroy the material you are engraving.

The two up and down arrow buttons to the right side the LCD give complete access to the menu control system. Use these arrow buttons to move the cursor up or down through the items in the display.

Both of these buttons each serves two purposes. Depending on which menu you are in at the time, the “SELECT” button either enters you into that menu item the cursor is currently on, or it toggles that menu item to display different choices. Some items in the display lead to other menus and some are settings that can be adjusted. The “ESCAPE” button, depending on which menu you are in at the time, either exits you back to the previous menu or it nullifies or cancels any changes that you have made to that menu item. Continuously pressing the “ESCAPE” button will eventually bring you back to the “MAIN” menu.

The indicator lights will act differently depending on the current state of the laser system. The chart below describes the conditions of the indicator lights during different modes of operation.
