Set Offset button - The Set Offset button is used to set a temporary home position. To set a

temporary offset position, use the Jog Buttons to move the spindle to a point you want to set as the

home position. Press the Set Offset Button. The message Home Set will appear on the LCD. This

position is now set as the temporary home (0,0) position. To reset the temporary origin back to the

machine's home position at the upper left corner of the T-Slot table, press Goto Home, then press the

Set Offset button.

+ ALT + Set Offset - Pressing the ALT + Set Offset uses the red dot laser pointer

position as the offset position. To use this function, turn on the red dot laser pointer with the ALT + Set

Surface buttons, then jog the motion system to the desired location, using the red dot laser pointer for

positioning. Press the ALT + Set Offset buttons to save the offset position in the machine permanently.

Turning the machine off, then back on will not erase this offset position. It does not overwrite the factory

machine origin. If you want to use another offset temporarily, move the spindle to the desired position

and press Set Offset as described above. If you want to save a new permanent offset, repeat this

procedure.

Goto Offset button - When you press the Goto Offset button, the engraver will return to the

offset position previously set (either temporary or stored). Pressing this while a job is running will lift the

spindle up, move to the offset position and cancel the job from the machine.

+ ALT + Goto Offset button - When you hold down the ALT button and press the

Goto Offset button, the spindle will move to the stored offset position (if one has been saved) and use

this position as the engraving origin. To store an offset position, use the X and Y jog buttons to move the

spindle to the location desired. Then press the Set Offset button. Once this is done, hold down the ALT

button and press the B1 button to save the location. To reset the origin back to the machine's default

offset position at the upper left corner of the T-Slot table, hold the ALT button down and press Goto

Home. Then press the Set Offset button.

Limits On/Off button - The Limits ON/OFF button is used to turn the limit switches on and off.

When the limit switches are active, the light above the button is green. When the limit switches are not

active, the light above the button is off. This button is typically used for troubleshooting procedures in

the event the machine is not working properly.

Prox On/Off button - This button allows you to turn the Proximity Sensor on and off. The Prox

sensor enables the machine to determine the Z position of the material. This feature works when
