 Chapter 2 Installing of the machine
A complete working system makes up of engraving machine
mainframe, laser power, blower, air compressor, water tank, air tube,
communicate cable. According to user’s different requirement, you can
configure computer, printer and scanner Etc.
Installing steps:
A. Laser tube installing
For laser tube is fragile vitreous product, we pack it independently
for safe travel. So we must install laser tube before adjusting machine.
Laser tube is installed in the back of the machine. We can see two V-form
brackets when we open the protecting cover of laser tube. As in figure
F2-1:

Picture F2-1
First, untie these two straps, put the water outlet side of the laser
tube (positive pole) on the V-form bracket carefully and then rivet it
firmly. As in figure F2-2 and figure F2-3

Picture F2-2 Picture F2-3

Second, buckle the straps to the screw to fix laser tube steady. As in
10
figure F2-4:

Picture F2-4
Attention:
Not be too tight when fixing in order to avoid destroying laser tube,
underlay some sponge under it when needed.2. Make sure that water
inlet (light out side) is at the bottom of the tube.
After fixing laser tube, connect water inlet of the water protection
with water inlet of laser tube on the negative pole (figure F2-5), and
connect the water outlet pipe with water outlet of laser tube (high voltage
side), as in figure F2-6:

Picture F2-5 Picture F2-6

Each water connection must be connected firmly in order to avoid
leaking. Glue pipe can’t be folded in order to make water flow fluently.
Finally lead laser tube power lines through the small hole and connect
with laser generator. As in figure F2-7

11
 F2-7
Laser power resource installing:
Now we put laser generator into the bottom of right trunk, connect
positive pole line first, as in figure F2-8:

F2-8 F2-9
Loosen the white glue screw cap on the positive pole of laser
generator, Make brass holes aim at positive brass pillar and insert it, then
rotate tight the white glue screw cap slowly, as in figure F2-9:
Then connect the negative line with laser power negative line and
fix the high-voltage connection on the insulating bracket, as in figure
F2-10:

Picture F2-10

12
 Finally open the side cover of the engraving machine and thread the
control lines through the alveolus to connect to control port of laser
generator. The installing has finished here, as in figure F2-11:

Picture F2-11
Installing of water pump:
Fill the water tank with pure water, connect the pump with water
outlet connection and insert the water pipe, then put them in water tank
and connect water pipe to water inlet of engraving machine and use
another water pipe to connect to engraving machine water outlet, and
finally forms water cycle. As in figure F2-12:

F2-12
Turn on the power of water pump. You can see that water will fill
laser tube gradually, if water flows smoothly in water outlet, that is to say
pump works normally.
In order to check that water flows normally in laser tube, we setup a
water protection in this water cycle, if water does not flow smoothly or
works abnormally, engraving machine will convert into protection state,
and laser tube will not emit light. So we must pay attention to the
cleaning of pump and water pipe in daily maintains.
13
 Air compressor installing
Connect air compressor outlet with inlet of engraving machine, turn
on the power and make sure that air blows normally. As in figure F2-13:

F2-13
Air compressor is of great important in this system. High-pressure
air comes out from the outlet of laser head. On the one hand it is to make
sure that the focus lens is clean and on the other hand it protects the
material from being ignited by laser. So you must be careful about air
pipe in order to avoid flexure or destroying, or abnormal work of air
compressor will cause burning of material.
Light path adjustment
Connect all electronic lines, turn on the power of engraving
machine, then the machine will reset and back to the last origin point, it
indicates that machine works normally, turn on the power of laser
generator and adjust light path. First, we adjust 1# mirror, move the
crossbeam to the nearest point of the mirror, eradiate a mark, then move
the crossbeam to the farthest point, eradiate a mark too. Adjust three
screws at the back of the mirror to make the farthest point lap over the
nearest point.

14
 F2-14
After adjusting 1#mirror, then we adjust 2# mirror and use the same
method as above.
Notice: the position of the light point should be better on the center
of mirror. It’s dangerous if it is on the edge of the mirror. If it is not on
the center of the mirror, please adjust mirror again until it moves to the
center.
Finally, check whether the four points at different culminations are
superposition, if they are not superposition, please readjust light path
until they are superposition. After four points lap over the same point,
let’s have a look at the point to make sure it is at the center of the
alveolus of the laser head. If it is not at the center of the light entrance,
turn off laser generator and adjust the position of laser tube. If it warps in
the horizontal position, adjust it to the same position it warps. For
instance, warps left, adjusts laser tube to left; warp right, and adjusts
laser tube to right. If it warps in perpendicular position, adjusts it in the
opposite position. For instance, warps up, adjust laser tube lower; warps
low, adjusts laser tube higher. (As in figure F2-14)
Notice: above adjustment only aims at negative pole of the laser
tube (light outlet side), if you want to adjust positive pole to achieve the
same result, you have to adjust it in an opposite direction to the above

15
method.
A detail introduction about adjustment refers to chapter 7 < light
way straighten standards>.
After adjustment, please fold the cover to protect laser tube.
6. Installing of blower
First, use a windpipe to connect blower with dust collector of
engraving, and lock it firmly. Then use another windpipe, which is
connected to outlet of blower, lead to the outside of room, and connect
the power line. As in figure F2-15:

 Installing of device drive
Han's YueMing Laser engraving machine uses USB port to connect
to computer, and transmits data. So you have to install the drive before
using the machine.
Setup methods:
Start the computer, turn on the engraving machine power, use USB
connection line to connect computer with engraving machine. Then “new
hardware has been found….”will appear on computer screen, as
following figure:

F2-16
Put the disk, which is given to customer with the machine, into
CD-ROM, the following dialogue box will appear:

18
 F2-17
Click “next”, goes into next interface:

F2-18
Select “Specify a location”, click “next”:

19
 F2-19
Here, system requires you to appoint location of drive program. You
can click “browse”, as following figure:

F2-20
Notice: disk name may be different for different computers.
CD-ROM is G disk in above figure while not every CD-ROM is G, so
please select a correct disk name.

20
 F2-21
Select “USB-Driver” document, click “open”, as in figure F2-22:

F2-22
Click “open” in above figure, you can see the following cue
information:

21
 F2-23
Click “next”, computer will install it automatically, after installing
has finished, following information will appear on screen (figure F2-24):

F2-24
Click “Finish” button, finish installing of device drive program.
Restart computer, make the mouse point to “my computer” and click
right button, then click “property” and select “hardware”, examine “port
(COM or PLT)” in “device management”, you can see information
produced by drive program “ USB Serial Port (COM3)”, that is to say the
port engraving machine will use is serial port COM3, shown in figure
F2-25:

22
 F2-25
COM3 is the port from which computer transmits data to engraving
machine, when you use Han's YueMing engraving software to output
graphics, you have to choose this port, these two ports must be consistent
or output is incapable. As shown in following figure:

F2-26
Generally speaking, if you have installed drive program, you have
no necessity to reinstall it. When you can’t find serial port, it may cause
by some other reasons. If you reinstall above drive program for many
times, COM5, COM6 may appear and computer may not find correct
port to output that engraving is incapable. So we have to run
“ftdiunin.exe” to uninstall drive program, then reinstall the drive after
these operations.
Entire installing of engraving machine system finished here, we will
introduce the operational methods to you in the following chapters.

Term explanation
Mechanic origin: it is in the top-right corner of the working platform,
this is the mechanic checking point (users can not change), engraving
machine will move to this place if you turn on the machine or reset, then
move to the former anchor point before this two operations.
Engraving origin: it is the beginning location of an engraving work.
You can define it all around the dimension bound of the machine, and
this point is always valid before a new definition.
Direction definition: (operator faces the working platform)
Up: the direction wheel moves away from operator
Down: the direction wheel moves near to operator.
Left: the direction on operator’s left hand.
Right: the direction on operator’s right hand.

 Chapter 4 The Operation Methods Of
Engraving Software
Our engraving software, developed all by our company, is an applied
software to our machine, and this software is of great applicable in
engraving output, and its biggest advantage is it has a simple and fast
operation interface, and it is easy to learn and use. The software can
support many kinds of file formats. And now, the software can support to
the following file format: YMF, BMP, PLT, OUT, DST, JPG, JPEG, GIF,
and etc. PLT format is vector-graph，so it has a high delicate, small
quality of data, and is fast to be calculates. While BMP format’s biggest
advantage, saving a lot of time for the customer, is it can be output
directly (pre-requirement is the graphs has a high quality), Beside, BMP
format is better in net-point making. And the use of these two kinds of
file formats satisfy customers’ different engraving requirements, as well
as solving a multiple parameter settings problem and realizing a once
engraving output and high working efficient. In order to let you master
our software better, we have written the following instruction:
Software installing: For this software has only one executing-allowed
file, it does not need a special installing. What you need to do is to put
the disk, which will be given to you with the machine, into the disk
driver, and copy all the files to computer’s hard disk, then locate for the
OUR document, open it and copy OUR.EXE to the desk or somewhere
else, you can operate our r software directly.

(3). Engraving setting:
In our software, “whole setting”, “group setting” is the fundamental
operations to realize the engraving work, then, we will have a detail
introduction about engraving parameters setting to you in the following
paragraphs. When click right button (or click “operation” in the menu), a
function menu will appear, as F4-6

Picture F4-6
In order to satisfy the different engraving output methods in one
33
graphics, the software defines different places to satisfy different
engraving aims and engraving properties. Clicking “whole setting”,
“group setting”, you can realize all the functions in the engraving
parameter setting. Let’s have instruction about each setting.
Block: it is a distinct defined by users (accomplished by rectangle
choosing and line choosing tools.). It is the smallest unit of engraving
typeset。The reason to define group is to realize different engraving
method in different parts in the same graphics.
Group: group is the aggregate of blocks. When you define a block,
you must decide which group block belongs to. A group can contain
many blocks, and engraving properties (engraving method, depth,
velocity, acclivity etc.) are defined in groups.
Integral (typeset): the district besides all the defined blocks,
videlicet all the districts that do not be chosen.
Property setting (whole property, group property): containing depth
defining and velocity defining.
Speed: show the moving velocity when machine is engraving.
Machine default speed: use the velocity parameters shown on the
machine’s screen.
User-defined speed: the speed ranges from 0 to 100 and calculates
as 100 when defined as above 100. The speed parameters revealed on the
machine display are invalid when adopting user-defined speeds.
Depth: defines the laser intensity in engraving. Top Depth is only
valid for the cleaning of the slopes and is defined as the depth of the
perpendicular line retained from the top of the slope stroke. Depth
defines the biggest depth in engraving. When the Top Depth equals the
Depth, there is no slope function.
Gradient: define how far the slope starts from the stroke, ranging
from 0 to 3 mm. The smaller the value is, the bigger the gradient is.
When the gradient is 0, then it is a straight line without slope function
Engraving Method:
Edge: only engrave the outline border of the graphics or stroke.
34
 Original Line: only engrave the central axes of the graphics or
stroke, and applicable to thin line and well-proportioned lines.
Intaglio (femalecarve): dig downward on the graphic or stroke.
Relief (malecarve): remain the graphics or stroke and dig out the rest
part.
Precision of scanning: the bigger the value is, the lines to form the
graphics are denser and the better the effect will be, but it takes a long
time. On the contrary, the result is opposite.
The values of speed, depth, and scanning precision can affect the
engraving depth respectively. Under the same deep definition, the
bigger the speed is, the smaller the depth is; vice versa. On the
contrary, the smaller the defined depth value, the smaller the depth
engraved. When the depth is not big enough, it increases by reducing
speed or raising the scanning precision.

Section 2 Basic Operation Of BMP Format

(1) Opening the file

Picture F4-7
As in F4-7, user can directly click “open” in file menu and open
files, or click button “B” shown in F4-5. And now, the software supports
the following file format: BMP, PLT, JPG, JPEG, GIF, YMF, DST etc.
(2). Selection of graphics
A very important condition to notice is the selection of the graphics
is valid in the bitmap format such as BMP, JPG, JPEG, GIF etc. while

35
 other vector format like PLT are invalid, it uses color to differ one setting
from the others. There is another operational method. We will learn it in
the following chapters.
There are two kinds of tools to select for distinct selection: rectangle tool
and graphics pen tool.
（1）.Rectangle selection: click the rectangle tool and mouse icon will turn
into forms, as shown in the F4-8.

Picture F4-8
Press the mouse left not loosen, move the mouse to the goal place,
and release the mouse left, then a rectangle area is selected. The area
selection is invalid when selected area covers with another selected
rectangle area or overlap the effective area.
Move the rectangle selected area: move the frame mouse into the
rectangle and it will turn into the form of , press the mouse left not
loosen and the selected area will be moved in this way.
Adjust the rectangle selected area: the size of the selected area can
be changed by putting the rectangle tool on the four corners or sides of
the rectangle selected area or moving the mouse with the mouse left
pressed.
Delete the selected area: The deletion can be accomplished by moving
the mouse into the selected area, click the right button and select the

36
“block deletion”.
(2). Area selected with Paintbrush: strike the paintbrush tool and the
mouse will turn into the form of , as illustrated in Figure F4-9.

Picture F4-9
Define an end (the first end is the starting point of the area to be
selected) by clicking the mouse left at a certain place and define another
end in the same way. Ends will connect to each other by lines between
two points. Continue to define ends and click the mouse right at last, the
first end will meet with the last end automatically and form a close area.
Notes:
A. Area selected with paintbrush can’t be modified. If there is a
mistake (or the selection is unsatisfactory), the user could only delete the
selected area and select it again.
B. The number of ends defined is limited to 40, or the selection will
fail. When the ends selected are more than 40, the user could only delete
the area selected and make another selection again.
C. Complicated form areas can be selected by paintbrush. Each area
can be overlaid with other:
The user who wants a selected area with stroke and cleaning can
operate as follows:
Define in the same area twice (there should be at least one area

37
selected by paintbrush), and group one area into the edge group (such as
Group 1) and the other into the cleaning block (such as Group 2).
Then set distinctive attributes for each group. Here we set up the
two blocks as attributes as edge and cleaning, then it can finish both
edging and cleaning. The method is generally adopted in leather industry.
The order of cleaning and edging, decided by their group number, the
smaller the group number, the earlier the engraving sequence.
(3). Affiliate block into group
After every block has defined, it must be affiliated into a group, for
the engraving parameters are set in groups. The method is:
Put the mouse into the block selected, click the right button, select
“block setting”, the following operation interface will appear.

Picture F4-10
Select “blocks allocate”, and process “ block select” operating, then
select the response block in the pulldown menu，the block selected will
appear red (a general show about forms and position), then we can
operate “group define”, select a group number in the pulldown menu, the
block you selected will affiliate to this group.
(4). Whole setting
Define of engraving parameters besides the selected blocks.
When click shortcut tool icon “H” (F4-5) or click the mouse right,

38
select “whole setting”, then an interface about “whole property setting”
will appear as F4-11.

Picture F4-11
Engraving method: Please refer to section 1 point 3 for details.
In addition to choosing intaglio (FemaleCarve) or relief engraving
(MaleCarve), we need to choose:
Horizontal in both directions: keeps the beam steady, move the
engraving head and the carving starts in both directions with light on.
Horizontal in one direction: keeps the beam steady, move the
engraving head and the carving starts in only one direction. Engraving in
this method is less efficient but with good results.
Vertical in both directions: keeps the engraving head steady, move
the beam and the carving starts in both directions with light on.
Vertical in one direction: keep the engraving head steady, move the
beam and the caving starts in only one direction with light on. Engraving
in this method is less efficient but with good result.
Speed in perpendicular cleaning method is slower than that of
horizontal cleaning and is mainly oriented at certain special application
of graphics.
Intaglio with frame: Selects this item, the peripheral area around the
engraving area will be magnified by 1mm.
39
Special Notice:
“TowardLine” is a special edging and mainly used in original
graphics of thin lines since stroke is always a closed circle. As illustrated
in Figure F4-12, forms can be output by means of edging, because
edging is decided by contour line and each line will be edged twice. If
the laser is expected to go in the direction of the original line only once,
the user can adopt the method of Original Line Output.

Picture F4-12
After selecting engraving method, the following is to set the
engraving parameters. After we have clicked “Carve Param”, a window
like F4-13 will appear.

Picture F4-13
Engraving parameter: please refer to section1 point 3.
Embellishment: To broaden or narrow the engraving lines and
strokes.

40
 When embellishment<0, the area engraved becomes smaller,
namely the area cauterized become smaller. As for intaglio, the stroke
will turn thicker; for relief the stroke will turn thin.
When embellishment>0, on the contrary, the result is opposite.
Information reference to: figure (F4-14)

Picture F4-14
In this dialogue box, there is an important setup-“Expand Canvas”.
After we select this dialogue box, the system will save the setup
automatically. When we open the file next time, the canvas will expand.
And this will facilitate our selection of a “block”. We advise customer to
select this function.
(2). Group setting
Engraving parameters are set in groups.
Select “operation”, “group setting” in menu, or click shortcut tool
button I in figure F4-5, and the whole process is similar to “affiliate
block into group”, the difference is you have to select page label
“CarverMethod” “Carve Param”，and the parameter’s meaning is the
same to“wholesetting”.

 Picture F4-15

Section 3 Application of BMP format file

The application of BMP format is to save the image finished as
BMP format and process it into binary image, namely 1 bit image, and
then output the engraving. In this way, we can avoid distortion caused by
the transformation of images, reduce the difference and raise precision.
How to transform CORELDRAW file to BMP format
When you have finished the figure you want to output, select the image,
and operate “output” order, as F4-16:

Picture F4-16

42
 When you have decided the output pathway and file name (in this
example, file name is: graphics 1.BMP), click it and output, a dialogue
box as following will appear (Figure F4-17, the color must be chosen
“black and white”; “Dithered” shouldn’t be chosen. Width and height
are proportional to resolution, and the value of width, height can’t be
equal or bigger than 10000 point. If it is equal or bigger than 10000
you have to reduce the perception. The lock behind horizontal and
perpendicular must be in the locked state, or the picture will change its
form), after setting the correct parameters, click “ok” button to output

Picture F4-17
Now we open a picture and exemplify its operation and application of
BMP format. First, we open a file like F4-18

Picture F4-18
If you want to relief engraving of “ YueMingLaser”, while intaglio
43
of “YueMing GiGuang”, and TowardLine of the rest, we can realize it
with the following operations: first, use selection tools to select the part
need a relief engraving or intaglio. As shown in the F4-19:

Picture F4-19
After having drawn the selection district, you can process group
setting now (including group allocation, engraving method and engraving
parameter setting), here we can affiliate blocks with the same engraving
method. (Of course we can do it according to our requirement). As
shown in F4-20, F4-21:

Picture F4-20

44
 Picture F4-21
After group definition having finished, we need to set engraving
method and engraving parameters. As shown in F4-22, F4-23.

Picture F4-22

Picture F4-23

45
 When each group has set its engraving method, and engraving
parameters, we can engrave and output figures. Shown in the following
figure:

Picture F4-24-1
Select the engraving machine port in the output port and then
select if the output is an image and if it is output or output by group. If
you click Output by Group, you can select the groups in the choice list
and click the data processing. After the system processing, the output
starts. And then the whole operation is finished. There are several choices
for the output buttons. When click the output button, the following
interface will appear.

Picture F4-24-2
Now you can choose to directly output the processing results to the
engraving machine for engraving or save them as .out file. The .out file
distinguishes from .YMF file in that the former is final engraving data
and that it can only used for engraving output and cannot be modified. If
you save it as a *out file, you don’t need further processing and you can
open it and output the engraving any time. (Click “Output through file”
button in Output Engraving and then selects the right file).
Users may save the processed frequently used samples as such file
so that you don’t need to repeat the setups and processing for engraving
and therefore greatly facilitate the using by customers.
In addition, Number of output rows, Number of output columns
46
(when you input rows and columns you want to output, the engraving
machine will output according to you requirements), Line space, and
column space are added as a useful function to bring convenience to
users, software system will give it out automatically.

Section 4 Application of PLT format

First we need to know that the application of PLT is based on the
difference between different strokes to conduct different attribute setup
so as to meet the engraving demands of users. The application of this
format can make us more intuitively use colors to complete the
once-and-for-all engraving output with different requirements.
Open a figure and make clear our work requirements first: cleaning
or edging. The nature of the application to cleaning and edging of PLT
format supported by current our engraving software is: Edging in fact is
to transform the image borders into the engraving path of laser; Cleaning
is the same as Edging in nature and is realized through filling the colored
parts of the image with equal-length parallels. Under the PLT format,
Cleaning Output cannot be conducted without filling with parallels. And
Edging Output also cannot be finished when the text patterns fail to be
added borderlines.
1. How to transform CORELDRAW files into PLT format?
Independent Edging: Select the pictures you need in CORELDRAW,
set the Fill Color as None, Border Color as Black (or other colors), and
then output the picture as PLT format after transforming it into curves.
Independent Cleaning: Select the graphics ready-to-output, set the
Border Color as None (not White), Fill Color as Black (or other colors
except White, white will be processed as black by CORELDRAW during
output as PLT), press “Output”, select “PLT” as “File Type” in the
Output dialogue box (Note: pay attention to whether to choose the item
of “Only Includes the Selected Area”); In the “HPGL” dialogue box, the
correct setup of “Page Tags” in “Page” must be 100 in scale; the starting
point of the drawing equipment should be in the center of the page.
47
Vertical: the drawing unit must be 1000(A detail information will show in
figure F4-27, F4-28). Incorrect setups will lead to incorrect output
results.
When you need to output edge and cleaning in the same graphics:
the graphic need to edge must set Border Color while no Fill Color, and
graphics need to cleaning must set Fill Color while no Border Color (do
not use white here), and then select output format PLT.
There are some basic settings when outputting: (F4-25---F4-28)
Selecting the output file type, defining output file name, like figure
F4-25:

Picture F-25

Picture F4-26

48
 Picture F4-27

Picture F4-28
Select “graduation” page label in the “HPGL” output dialogue
frame，“simulate filling color” must be set “parallel lines”, “row space”
dialogue box must choose .001,”curve perception” can set as small as
possible in order to make a good precision of curves, select .001 is better,
all curves are express by straight lines in PLT format, and straight line
angel is zero.
2. How to use PLT format file?
As shown in the figure F4-29 (the picture is get from CorelDraw),
we want to do operation on this figure of seven colors. (Of course,
cleaning need to set Fill color, and edge need to set Border Color with no
Fill Color)
49
 Picture F4-29
First, follow the steps shown in the figure F25-28 to output a PLT
file, then, open it in engraving software, as the following figure (F4-30).
We can see that all pen numbers are listed out. But all initial color is
black (for the first time to use engraving software, we have not set
color-setting.)

Picture F4-30
Then let’s set the color. As shown in F4-31, first, choose pen 1,
click ”color definition”, select one kind of color, and this color is only
useful to the sight, and engraving parameters are differed from each other
by pens number. If you reference the color definition in CorelDraw9, you
can maintain the same sight result to the CorelDraw. (That is to say the
figure in engraving software has the same color in CorelDraw9).
Click “color definition” and define every pen number a name,
50
generally speaking, we use true name of the color. Of course we can use
“edge color” and “cleaning color” etc.
Click “engraving order”, define the working order of the pen (or
color), or which color you want to output first and which color you want
to output later. Notice: when you use PLT format to output, group setting
is unusable, for PLT format file use different color to define different
engraving property. So the group setting is invalid now.

Picture F4-31

Picture F4-32
When color setting has accomplished (F4-31), reopen the above
figure in the engraving software, the figure will change into F4-32. Then,
we can set parametersettting1, or engraving method and engraving
51
 velocity setting. Shown in figure F4-33:

Picture F4-33

After every color has set correctly, then we can set parametersetting2.
(Of course, we have to know which color we need to clean, and which
color we need to edge), as following figure (F4-34)

Picture F4-34
In F4-34, if engraving parameter (working light extensity) set default,
then the machine will work with the light extensity show on the crystal
screen of the machine. If you need clean and gradient at the same time,
we advise you to define parameters by you own self, like in the picture
F4-34, for only in this way can we get the gradient result. After

parametersetting2 has finished, we can press SHIFT+E or to output

the figure. As shown in the following figures:

52
 Picture F4-35

Here, we can output all groups in a time (output all pens at the same
time), or output group by group, if we choose output group by group, we
can first output a certain color, and then output another. After data
disposing has finished, we can output figures.
Notice:
Software system can’t store parameters and color automatically, in
order to store the definition, we need to select” information browses”
page, and select “ parameter save”, press “OK” to exit, when you reopen
the graphic next time, you have no need to do the color definition.
In our daily application, take figure (F4-30) for example, for
engraving parameter definition of every color has finished, after we open
the file, we have no need to define engraving parameter, and do “ data
dispose”, “ engraving output”, heighten the working efficient.
3, Main points in the application of PLT format
(1). Color setup：
PLT format performs its management on the base of color
lamination while the color parameters transmission is distinguished by
numbers of the paintbrushes (Refer to F5-5 for description of the PLT
interface output in CORELDRAW), so the user had better set up the
color attribute in PLT format with the same color setup of CORELDRAW.
In this way the Han's our engraving software can enjoy the same visual
effect with CORELDRAW.
Meanwhile, it is recommended to define the engraving parameters
for each color and not to change them randomly.

(2). Good operative habits:

53
 After finishing the above work, it is good to cultivate the habit of
adopting the corresponding color to fill and defining paintbrush color of
outer border according to various engraving demands. By adoption of our
Engraving Software, for PLT format files we don’t need definition of the
engraving parameters before direct data process and data output.
(3). Notice：
a) For edging of characters, we should transform into curves and add
Outer Border Addition Brush.
b) The color of the outer border brush may be different from the
filling colors, but color consistency is favorable for habit cultivation.
c) our Software does not distinguish relief from intaglio in the
format of PLT. When relief is needed in the picture drawing, we need to
create the intaglio effect. Note: combination and outer border color are
needed.
d) For the effect chart made with line thickening method, the work of
“outer border change into items” shall be executed as well as the deletion
of the central axes, especially for the sheets
e) Welding is necessary, especially for sheets and overlaid pictures.
(4). Defect of CORELDRAW
Sometimes for unclear reason, the PLT outputted from
CORELDRAW has distorted effect (for example: the insertion of unclear
lines). In such cases, the original image needs to be zoomed in once
before it is recovered to its original correct size and to repeat the PLT
operation.

54
 Chapter 5 Parameter setting of the machine
We have instructed basic operation methods of our software in the
above paragraphs, then, we will instruct the parameter setting of the
machine, which is of great important here, to you. So you must read this
chapter carefully, and never try changing any parameters before have
understood it, or false parameter setting will cause machine to work
abnormally or cause any other problems.
Parameters in machine are the center setting of the engraving
machine. Normally, users have no need to Change it. If you need to
change the parameter setting, we advise you to store the parameters, then,
correct the parameters, if the machine do not work normally, you can
rewrite the backup data to the machine.
Let’s have a detail instruction about how to set the parameters in
machine.
First, open our software, like figure F5-1:

Picture F5-1
Click mouse right, and a menu will appear (Figure F5-1), select”
machine setting” (or click the shortcut tool the arrow icon oriented), the
following picture will appear (Figure F5-2):

55
 Picture F5-2
If you want to change the parameters in machine, first, you must
select a right port, then click “open port”, and click “ read value”, now
we can correct the parameters.
Laser tube: a, import tube b, homemade tube。At present, our
company use homemade tube in our engraving machine, so here we
select homemade tube。If choosing homemade tube by mistake, there will
be a continuous lighting after turn on the machine.
Beam-electromotor: a, positive pole b, negative pole. The parameter
decides the moving position of the beam. Notice: the value is not
absolute, some machines are positive while others are negative. A correct
pole setting is on the parameter setting list in the left cover of the
machine.
Wheel-electromotor: a, positive pole b, negative pole. The
parameter decides the moving position of the wheel. Notice: the value is
not absolute, some machines are positive while others are negative. A
correct pole setting is on the parameter setting list in the left cover of the
machine.
Lift-electromotor: as beam-electromotor, at present, most of our
engraving machines do not have lift-electromotor, so you can select one
setting randomly, it does not affect the machine to work normally. If the
56
machine has lift-electromotor, you can get the information from
wheel-electromotor definition.
Reset test: a, positive b, negative. Normally, reset test come back to
the origin first, and then come back to the recent position point. If laser
head do not come back to the origin，or reset test abnormally, please
check the parameter setting, and compare to the parameter setting list.
Rapid edging: a, enable; b, disable. The parameter decides the
permission of rapid edge; different main board version has different
definition. A right setting compares to the setting list.
Electromotor acceleratory function: The acceleratory of the laser
head. The bigger the value is, the faster engraving machine accelerate,
the higher efficient is, but the result will not as good as a lower value. On
the other hand, if you reduce the value, the result will be better but
working efficient will reduce. An idea setting compares to the setting
list.
Laser light: the smallest value can be set when machine is working.
The value is different to different material. You can set the value from
0-10.
Port: select machine’s output port, required, or the data can’t be
output. Normally you can select COM3 or COM4 (you can search the
port in instrument manager).
(Beam) area: a max area that machine can move, the value is 600
except for GM535 350.
(Beam) Max speed: we advise you use 75. The value can influence
the working speed of the machine, the bigger, the faster, the smaller, and
the slower. You can define a speed compatible to you requirement.
(Beam) precision: this is the precision of the beam-electromotor, if
the value is wrong, it will cause a big problem that the output dimension
does not equal to the real dimension, the bigger the value is, the bigger
the output result is, while the smaller the value is, the smaller the output
result is. A right setting compares to the setting list.
(Wheel) area: a max area that machine can move, 535 series is 500,
57
and 960 series is 900, and 1200 series is 1200.
(Wheel): Max homemade electromotor sets 230; homemade
electromotor set 250 to 600(we advise you set 400). The value can
influence the working speed of the machine, the bigger, the faster, the
smaller, and the slower. You can define a speed compatible to you
requirement.
(Wheel) precision: this is the precision of the beam-electromotor, if
the value is wrong, it will cause a big problem that the output dimension
does not equal to the real dimension, the bigger the value is, the bigger
the output result is. While the smaller the value is, the smaller the output
result is. A right setting compares to the setting list.
Lift area: For many of our machines do not have lift, we can write in
any value smaller than the max value, we advise you to set 150.
Lift precision: you can set a value same to the wheel.
Laser worked: the value was produced by system, users can’t
rewrite, and the value does not affect the machine to work.
Carve Machine worked: the value was produced by system, users
can’t correct, and the value does not affect the machine to work.
After you have finished the setting, you must click “write value”, or
the setting is invalid. The parameters write in will work after reset test or
restart the machine.

 Chapter 6 Operation Methods of Direct Output in
CorelDraw、AutoCAD
In order to make the operation more convenient and reduce
operation steps, our Company has developed the software that can help
you directly output graphics from CorelDraw11 and AutoCAD.
Section 1 Operation method to realize output in
CorelDraw11
1. System installing
Before using this system, CorelDraw11 must be installed correct;
installing steps can be found in appendix 2.
Instrument drive program installing (chapter 2 point 8)
Install Our software system (chapter 4)
Open our engraving software, and read the parameters of the machine.
Then, open the document “For CorelDraw11” in the disk which will be
given to you when you buy our machine, double click Install.exe to setup
this software, as shown in the following figure:

Picture F6-1
Click “setup”, next step:

Picture F6-2
Select” English”, and press “ok”

59
 Picture F6-3
Press “ok” to complete install.
2, setting of CorelDraw11
After installing has completed, open the CorelDraw11. Select “tool
(o)” →options (Ctrl+J); Open the control plate, as figure F6-4:

Picture F6-4
Select VBA in the working place, cancel option “delay to install
VBA”, press “ok”, and exit dialogue box, the system will open our
engraving control program automatically.
After above operation has finished, when you open CorelDraw11,
system will open our output software, as figure F6-5.

Picture F6-5
3. How to use this system
When you have opened CorelDraw11, our engraving control program
60
will appear at the right up corner of the window. (Figure F6-5), you can
use CorelDraw11 freely, it will not affect you normal work, when you
finished graphics, you can output to engraving machine directly.
4. Parameter setting
After finishing graphics, click “YueMing Laser” button (figure F6-5),
open engraving parameter setting window to set parameter. And this
system use color to manage output. As figure F6-6:

Picture F6-6
Select a certain color to set parameter, take “green” in the figure for
example, first select green, then click parameter setting on the right, open
the dialogue box of engraving setting, and set responsible value. As
figure F6-7:

Picture F6-7
After setting has finished, we can engrave now, you can store the
61
parameter setting in a certain file, and select “output”, open “output”
dialogue box, input correct file name and store path, then press ”ok”,
then we can store the file as YMC file, and when we need to output the
file, we can open this file directly. Using output and input setting
functions smartly, you can set different parameter on different materials.
At the same time, the system will remember the parameter output last
time. When you restart CorelDraw11, and process this system, the system
will use the parameter set last time.
After choose “engraving output”, open engraving output dialogue box,
as figure F6-8:

Picture F6-8
Instruction about Figure F6-8:
“Present position”: machine will carve from present position
“Origin output”: machine will carve from the recent position.
“Port”: select the dummy port in the instrumental manager of the
computer.
“Output to file”: output the present file to an OUT format file, and you
can select “output from the file “next time to output directly.
“Output directly”: output present graphics to machine directly.
5. Notice
When filling color to a graphic, we must choose default color plate
to fill color while not use self definition, for some errors may occur if we
use self definition to fill color.
To some directly input graphics, system may not accept and
consider it invalid (So we have to describe them), such as bitmap, GIF,
JPG, TIFF, etc, and we can’t change current graphics into bitmap either.
Art tool: if we do not convert it into curves, system will think it
invalid and can’t output.
62
 Word edit: converts into curves, and output.
Interactive consonant tool: Forbidden, if it is used, system will
consider it invalid.
The meaning of parameter setting must be learned. Using
CorelDraw11 to output, it is convenient to widen graphic lines, so the
“repair” does not use in the property settings; and it is easy to know the
meaning of speed and graduation, they have the same meaning to other
versions of our software. What need to care is “top” and “depth”. Depth
is the power when laser work, the bigger it is, the deeper the result will
be; While top is used only to incline engraving, a depth will be left to
increase its abrasion.
In this software, cleaning is to fire out the curves with colors, so we
only need to define color to what we want to carve when we need
intaglio.
Relief engraving: we must draw a field around the content we need to
engraving, and we design a simple way to realize relief engraving. For
example, we first draw a rectangle or any other forms, then write a
paragraph of words, and put the words on the graphics drawn just now,
and fill the words with white color to emerge the words, finally group the
two graphics. Then we can output with relief engraving result now. Just
as above figure, we only need to define the engraving parameter of red
color.
Group

In this software, engraving works are disposed in groups. Users

should use this function as smart as possible. For instance, if you want to
output a sentence word by word, so you need to group this sentence word
by word, if you want to output the sentence in a time, you should group
the whole sentence once.
63
 For the defect of CorelDraw, the dimension of every group should be
smaller than 50cm.
In this software, coordinal position is calculated by area of the whole
graphic. So you have to abandon the graphics that is of no use to current
figure.
About version: if the figure is drawn in CorelDraw10 or CorelDraw9
and opened in CorelDraw11, there may exist some problems when we
output from our software, this is because the different version of
CorelDraw are incompatible, so if you want to output the figures drawn
in the old versions, you have to refill color to figure. Besides, self-color
definition is invalid here, and you need to use the initial color list of
coreldraw11 on the right.

controller. 1-100%: output at a percentage of max speed of the machine.
Repair: applying to engraving error (-0.5mm-0.5mm), when
operating to a closed graphic, the error is caused by the diameter of laser
line, we can adjust the error according to use this function. For example:
engraving a cycle with a 5mm diameter, if we do not use this function
and output, the real diameter of the cycle is 4.99mm, so we can input
0.01mm here, and the error will be reduced.
Carve sequence: use to set different sequence of color, the smaller
carve sequence is, the earlier it is output.
After parameter setting has finished, we can output graphics, system
will remember the setting of the last set. So we can use a useful setting
model, and have no need to set parameter every time. For instance, we
can set color red: intensity (50%, speed: 20%, no repair, carve sequence:
1), and the next time when we use red, the setting will be the same to the
above. If this does not meet customers’ requirement, we can set a certain
parameter to a certain graphic according to input and output.
Parameter output: when we need to output parameter setting to a file,
we select “output parameter”, and the following dialogue box will appear,
as figure F6-17:

68
 Picture F6-17
Find a proper place to store the output file, default path is: CAD
installing list\YMLASER. Usually, we built a steady document to store
our CAD engraving file setting, after CAD file has opened, we select
input parameter, and input parameter of current file.
Input parameter: select” input parameter”, and input engraving
parameter setting of a graphic, as shown in figure F6-18:

Picture F6-18
Select “open”: open a certain parameter set, system will input
parameter setting to the present graphic automatically.
Instruction: system will accept the sequence in the parameter file as
the superior sequence, if the color is not defined before, system will set it
behind other colors.
Engraving output:

 After all above has finished, we can output now, select “output” and
open carve output window as figure F6-19

Picture F6-19
Parameter Notes:
Output position: the output position of present graphics on the
engraving machine. Two methods: present position and origin output,
present position is the position of laser head, origin output response to
the definitional point on the control plate.
Instruction: the dimension engraving machine output only relate to
the dimension in CAD, while has nothing to do with its position in CAD.
Port: the path used to transfer date from computer to engraving
machine. You can select it in the pulldown menu. (It must be the same to
the hub in computer instrumental manager.)
Output to file: output present graphic data to a certain file, and
response to “output from file”, if you do not want to output present
graphic and want to output from another file, you can use this working
model.
Directly output: make present graphic output to engraving machine
directly.
Notice about drawing in AUTOCAD:
Hidden layers and hidden graphic does not output, if you need to
output hidden layers and hidden graphic, you have to show it out.
All lines must be output in forms of solid, the lines does not need to
output such as annotation lines may forbid to output according to color
management or hide layer to avoid output.
Software grade:
The system runs right under WINDOWS 2000 and XP

70
(AUTOCAD2002 and ATUOCAD 2004), if you meet any problem in
other operational systems, please remind us, we will satisfy your
demand.
Having downloaded upgrade software, please reinstall it. What need
to accentuate is: when you refresh menu, you must delete the former our
menu group, and reinstall it.

 Chapter 7 Light path straighten standards
The light path might change when we use engraving machine, and
lead no light or light path moved. Then you can solve the problem with
following methods.
Crossbeam: connected with the nozzle, this can be controlled by the
up and down button on the control panel.
Laser head: namely, the nozzle, which can be moved by the left and
right button on the control panel.
Step1: ensure the laser from the laser tube shines on the center of
the 1# reflecting mirror.
Set 2: paste a piece of sticky tape before the 2# mirror or other
material on which the laser can make a mark. Move the crossbeam to the
nearest point to the laser tube and then press the “pulse” button to make a
mark on the tape. (Attention: in order to avoid hurts, please use a piece of
pasteboard to locate the laser, then, adjust the light path.).

Step 3: move the crossbeam away from laser tube gradually and
press pulse to make a mark.

72
 Step 4: if the two marks do not at the same point on the tape, you
can adjust 1#mirror and make the two marks overlap at the same point.
Step 5: redo step 2 to step 4 till the two marks overlap at the same
point.
Step 6: paste a piece of sticky tape before the 3# mirror or other
material on which laser can make a mark. Move the laser head to the
nearest point to the laser tube, the press the pulse button to make a mark
on the tape.

Step 7: move the laser head away from mirror 2# gradually and
press pulse, make a mark.

73
 Step 8: if the two marks do not at the same point on the tape, you
can adjust 2#mirror and make the two marks overlap at the same point.
Step 9: redo step 6 to step 8 till the two marks overlap at the same
point.
Step 10: paste a piece of tape before 3# mirror. Press the pulse
button to make a mark on the tape. If the point is in the center of the hole,
we can finish it here now.
Step 11: If the laser does not in the center of the hole, as figure
F7-1:

Picture F7-1
In this example, the point moves outside and above a little.
Up-down error: heighten or lower the laser tube.
In and out error: adjust laser tube inside or outside.
In this example, we must lower the laser tube, and then redo the
adjustment from the first step.
Notice: All the works above must be done by trained staffs, or ask
correlative staffs for help. Be careful when adjusting and prevent laser
from hurting people.

 Chapter 8 Daily maintains and familiar
faults analysis.
Correct operation and daily maintains play a significant role in
machine’s steady work. We will introduce some methods of daily
maintains and familiar faults analysis to you in following paragraphs:
(1). Daily maintains:
a. Water changing and water tank cleaning (we advise you to
change the water and clean water tank every week).
Caution: make sure that laser tube is filled with water before
work.
Water quality and temperature of cycle water affect the life of laser
tube; we advise you to use purified water or distilled water and control
the temperature below 35 centigrade. You need to change water or put
some ice into water when temperature is above 35 centigrade.
Water tank cleaning: turn off the power and pull out the water inlet
hose to let water flow out from laser tube automatically, then open water
tank and pick out water pump, cleaning the dirt on pump. Clean the water
tank and change cycle water, then put back the pump and connect water
inlet hose, turn on the power of pump only in order to fill the laser tube
with water for 2-3 minutes.
(2). Blower cleaning
A long-time used blower will accumulate solid dust, which will
cause big noise and un-smoothly exhaust. When blower works
un-smoothly, turn off the power and take off the two hoses, clean the dust
in it, then make blower handstand and rotate the vane to make it clean.
Reinstall the blower finally.
(3).Mirrors cleaning (we advise you to clean mirrors before work
everyday, machine must be power off)
In above introduction of our machine, we know that there are 3
reflection mirrors and a lens (1# reflection mirror is at the emit port of
laser tube, or top-left corner of the working platform, 2# reflection mirror
is at the left side of wheel, 3# reflection mirror is at the top of laser head
75
and the lens is at the bottom of drawtube), laser is emitted from the laser
tube and reflected by 3 mirrors and finally focused by lens. Mirrors are
easy to get dirt and cause lost of laser or destroying of mirrors. 1# and 2#
mirrors’ cleaning is easy, you have no need to take the mirror off and
only to wipe the mirror with professional paper dipped with cleaning
liquid carefully. 3# mirror and focus lens’ cleaning has to take them off,
and use the same method to wipe mirror carefully, finally reinstall them.
Caution:
A. Mirrors must be wiped carefully in order to avoid destroying
plating membrane on surface;
B, take the mirror gently to avoid dropping onto floor.
C, concave must face below when install focus lens.
(4). Cleaning of the orbit (we advise you to clean orbit twice a month,
machine is power off)
Caution: cleaning preparation –dry cotton, lubrication.
The orbits of engraving machine consist of straight orbit, trolley
orbit. In YM series, we adopt straight orbit on X direction and trolley
orbit on Y direction.

Cleaning of straight orbit: first move the laser head to the right (or
left) side, find the straight orbit as shown in above figure, use dry cotton
to wipe it clean and add some lubrication on it, move the laser head from
right to left slowly for times to make lubrication distribute equality.

76
 Cleaning of trolley orbit: move the beam to inner side, open the
covers on both side of the machine, find the trolley orbit as shown in
above figure, use dry cotton to clean the osculant places, move beam to
another place to clean the rest place.
(5). Light path checking
Light path system is made up of 3 mirrors’ reflection and a lens’
focus. In this light path, lens doesn’t exist excursion while 3 reflection
mirrors are fixed mechanically, so the possibility of excursion is big, we
have to check light path before machine work.
