Chinese Laser
Laserworks Ver. 6.0.45
The problem -
I start the machine, it finds "home" in the upper right corner.
Using the LCD keypad on the laser machine, I move the laser head to the upper left corner and press the "Origin" key on the LCD keypad.
The laser machine is turned "off"
The laser machine is turned "on", the laser "powers up" and the laser head moves to "home" (upper right corner) and then moves to the upper left corner which is the location that was chosen as the "Origin". At this time the laser should be ready to begin engraving.
On the computer screen, using the Corel "plug in" (for Laserworks), the "Start" button is used to start the engraving process.
After the "Start" button is pressed, the laser machine beeps and the "Frame Slop" message appears on the LCD screen, with the instructions to use "ESC to End", "Enter to Continue"
The "Enter" key is pressed on the LCD keypad to continue with the engraving. However, instead of the laser head moving to the engraving location and beginning to engrave, the laser head moves to the upper right corner (Home) and stops.
After several attempts to find a solution, I switched to another computer that has an older version of Laserworks 6.0 loaded. I connected the laser to this computer and used the same file. When the "Start" button in the Corel "plug in" was used to start the engraving process, the laser head moved to the correct position and began engraving.
Note that at the end of the previous engraving session I had been experimenting with returning the engraving head to the "origin" position using the known X and Y coordinate values for the "origin" position. I assume I changed something during that exercise which is causing the problem I am currently experiencing.
Laserwork has many functions that I have never used and have no idea what those functions will do. Has anyone found a manual that clearly explains, in English, the functions Laserworks will perform?
Any ideas/help is appreciated.
Thank You,
Roger
