4. Position the graphic, on screen, so that it will fit vertically within the new page
height and horizontally within the engraving area of the glass. If the graphic does
not fit within the vertical page size limits, the portion that is outside the page limit will
not engrave. Remember, the new page size that the driver calculates from the
diameter of the glass is it’s actual circumference. From the top of the page down to
the bottom is one complete revolution of the glass. Since the Rotary Fixture will not
turn more than 360 degrees, make sure that the graphic lies between the page
limits.
5. If you will be engraving something that is not cylindrical such as a mug with a
handle, or the engraving needs to put in a certain location on the glass proceed to
the next step otherwise proceed to Step 10.

, between the top
of the page and the vertical center of the page. If you would like the graphic on the
other side of the mug, position the graphic, on screen, centered between the
vertical center of the page and the bottom of the page.
6. Let’s use a mug with a handle as an example. Place the mug into the Rotary Fixture
and lock it down. Make sure that the motion system is in it’s home position by
pressing the “PAUSE” button. By hand, rotate the mug until the handle points
straight up. You can accomplish this by releasing the locking mechanism, rotating
the mug until the handle is pointing straight up, and locking it back down.
can simply rotate the mug while it is locked down by turning it until the handle points
straight up. It is no problem to do this even if you turn the cone of the Rotary
Fixture. The laser system will use whatever position the Rotary Fixture is resting at
as it’s home position when it starts to engrave the file.
The Rotary Fixture rotates towards the back of the laser system as is starts to
engrave. If the graphic extends from the top of the page (on screen) to the bottom,
the Rotary Fixture will rotate 360 degrees until the handle comes to a stop,
positioned straight up making one complete revolution.
If you would like the engraving positioned opposite the handle (180 degrees), place
the graphic, on screen, centered between the top of the page and the bottom of the
page. If you would like the engraving positioned between the handle and 180
degrees opposite the handle, then center the graphic, on screen
