VLS2.30, VLS3.50, VLS3.60, VLS4.60 and VLS6.60 SYSTEM TAB
The System Tab allows you to congure certain features of the laser system. Not all features will appear on the System
Tab.
The PRINT CACHE number is adjustable. It indicates the maximum number of print jobs that you would like to •
be stored on your hard drive. If you exceed the number shown, the software will automatically begin deleting
the oldest jobs as newest jobs enter the cache, unless “Permanent” is checked in the File Managment window.
LANGUAGE allows you to switch between available languages according to your preference.•
UNITS allow you to choose between Metric or Inches.•
AUTO Z should be enabled if you would like the device to focus the laser beam by automatically adjusting •
the height of the Z-Axis table. This operating principle is based on the material thickness that you specify in the
laser system printer driver. If it is disabled, you will need to set focus manually by using the included Focus Tool.
The TUNING (UNIVERSAL) number is a value set by the ULS factory for your particular machine. In the fu-•
ture, as your laser system is used, it may be necessary to change this value to sharpen the resulting
image. Do not change this number unless instructed to do so by our Customer Service Department.
The LENS SIZE selected from the list should be the same as the number printed on the lens assembly on the front •
of your Focus Carriage. If you change lens (available accessory) and use something other than the standard 2.0
lens, then you MUST select the value that matches your installed lens. You will need to calibrate the focus lens
to the top surface of the table by clicking the red CALIBRATE button, otherwise the system will not focus
the laser beam properly. Contact the Customer Service Department if you have any question about lens
calibration.
The ALIGNMENT Launch button opens the Alignment Mode window. The Alignment feature should only be •
used if instructed by our Customer Service Department at ULS.
CUTTING TABLE allows you to calibrate a new Z-height to the top surface of Cutting •
Table. You need to have the Cutting Table installed in the system to activate the
CALIBRATE button.
ROTARY is activated once the rotary accessory is installed. Rotary calibration should be done once when the •
rotary is installed for proper engraving. For more information about the rotary, read the Accessories section of
this manual.
PULSE CALIBRATION manipulates the laser beam to be tuned for ner pulsing. • Do not use this feature unless you
have been ULS factory trained or with factory approval.
If the SOUNDS box is checked, the computer will play the sound shown indicated once the le has nished •
engraving. Be sure that your computer speakers are on and at an appropriate volume.
HOMING OPTIONS disable or enable certain homing features from the laser system.•
Normally after the engraving job is complete it will return home after engraving. If you would like to keep •
the focus carriage from going home, check the ‘Don’t Return Home After Engraving’ box.
