The VersaLASER Keypad
The Keypad on the laser system provides limited access to controls necessary for cutting and engraving operations. When
the laser system has nished initializing and homing, and if all the doors are closed, the red light on the keypad will be
illuminated and ready to run a le.
The Green or Red LED (Light Emitting Diode) will display dierently depending on the current state of the laser system.
Please refer to the chart below.
