2-12 Installation
•If the red dot is centered, installation is complete. Remove the masking tape.
•If you have second Laser Cartridge (the bottom one) installed, you must check it’s alignment also. To do this, you must first turn OFF the laser system.
•Disconnect the wire harness from the top Laser Cartridge and connect it into the bottom Laser Cartridge. Remember that only the TOP laser power connector has a wire that powers the Red Diode Pointer. The BOTTOM laser power connector does not even though BOTH Laser Cartridges are equipped with Red Diode pointers. We do this because we do not want two Red Diode pointers activated, only one.
•Turn the system ON and check the red dot like you did for the Top Laser Cartridge.
•If the bottom Laser Cartridge’s red dot is not centered within 1/8” of the center of the hole, please contact our Service Department.
Problem Prevention
The following are things that you MUST NEVER do:
1)Never connect or disconnect the printer cable while either the computer or the
laser system is powered ON. Always power down both units and leave them plugged into the wall
outlet when connecting or disconnecting the printer cable.
2) Never connect the laser system through a manual switch type A/B switch box.
If connecting an additional laser system or other printer to the same computer, we recommend the installation of an additional parallel port into the computer. Using a switchbox can create electrical noise that can cause an engraving problem or can damage the laser system and/or the computer’s electronics.
3)Never use any device that is installed between the computers parallel port and the parallel port of the laser system such as a ZIP drive or parallel port
drive. This can not only damage the laser systems electronics but it usually will not work and will cause
file transmission errors. Again, install an additional parallel port for other peripheral devices.
Computer Controlling the Laser System
At this time, you will need to read the second manual supplied with your system. It is called “Computerized Controls”. This manual contains Windows 95/98 printer driver installation and operation instructions as well as setup instructions for graphics software to properly work with the laser system. Please read this other manual before continuing on to Section 3.
