The Process Controls
These control the actual running of the laser system.
Runs the current file displayed in the “File Display” menu.
If a file is running, the “PAUSE” button halts the engraving or cutting process. When paused, the motion
system arm will move to its home position in the upper right corner of the engraving area. When ready to
continue operation, press the “RESUME” button and the system will begin cutting or engraving again
exactly where it left off. If you wish to run the file from the beginning after pressing the “PAUSE” button,
press the “START” button.
When “Curve Enhancement” mode is selected in the driver, the
“Resume” button acts like the “Start” button and will start your file from the beginning.
During slow raster or vector motions, the motion system might not pause immediately after the “PAUSE”
button is pressed. It can take a few seconds or several seconds to stop the system because it needs to
complete the motion commands that it is currently running. Opening the top door also works similar to
the “PAUSE” button but not exactly. The first thing the laser system will do is turn off the laser beam
immediately after the door is opened. The next thing it will do is pause the motion system. Since opening
the door and the pausing of the motion system are not precisely synchronized if you do this, resuming the
file might cause an area of missed engraving. Opening the door to turn off the laser and to pause the
motion system should only be used for safety or emergency reasons.
