Graphics Software Setup

Choosing the right graphics software program to run the laser system is essential for maximum usage

and control of the laser system. Not all software can be used to run the laser system because many have

limitations. Because you may be using word processing software to output to your laser printer does not

mean you should use it to output to your laser engraving system. Setting up you software correctly is

essential to running the laser system properly.

XL9200 = 36 x 24 inches (914.4mm x 609.6mm)

XL12000 = 48 x 24 inches (1219.2mm x 609.6mm)

NOTE: Since we have provided specific instructions for setting up CorelDRAW 12 and AutoCAD

2000iand higher, in the previous section, some of the following steps have already been taken.

Please read through the rest of this section, in its entirety, to make sure your software is

configured properly.

There are many other software programs that you can purchase off-the-shelf that will work with the laser

system. Some of them can access more features of the laser system than others may. Whichever

program you choose, it must be set up to work with the laser system otherwise unexpected results may

occur. Use the following GENERAL guidelines when configuring your software program.

Page Setup

To properly generate and position artwork, most graphics software will permit the customization of the

page size and orientation. Set the page orientation, in the graphics software to Landscape, and the page

size to match your maximum engraving area of your Platform. The driver’s orientation and page size

MUST then be set to match these specifications EXACTLY, otherwise the artwork may not print correctly.

When setting page orientation and driver orientation to Landscape mode, the laser system will operate in

the horizontal direction, left to right. If page orientation and driver orientation is set to Portrait mode, the

laser system will operate in the vertical direction, front to back. The laser system is designed to operate

best in the Landscape mode and this orientation is highly recommended. The page size may also be

reduced to match the size of the engraving material, but remember to adjust the page size in the driver’s

to correspond to the graphics software’s page size. Note that in production situations it is often more

efficient to leave the page size at its maximum page size and engrave or cut more than one object at a

time. This is accomplished by duplicating the image on screen as many times as necessary to fill up the

entire page.

Ruler Setup

Usually the graphics software will provide on-screen rulers, which can be configured to match the rulers in

the laser system. Using rulers in the software and matching them with the ones provided in the laser

system gives the ability to correctly align the graphic on the screen with the material in the laser system.

Power Control through Color Selection

The laser system allows the use of 8 different colors to access 8 different power settings when cutting

and engraving. The printer driver controls this feature. When using this power change feature with

driver, the colors that are used MUST exactly match the colors listed in the driver. The colors are black,

red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and orange. Some programs will provide these basic colors pre-

defined and other programs may require the creation of each of the colors by defining them in RGB. If

you are using CorelDRAW we have made our own custom palette and placed the file on the printer driver

disk. Please refer to the software setup instructions. If you are using other graphics software and need

to mix your own colors, use the chart below to create them.
