While this feature can affect engraving times, it is not the recommended method of
adjusting engraving speed. Normally you would adjust the engraving speed either
from the print driver or from the SETUP menu on the LCD.
Ramp Compensation: “RAMP COMPENSATION” controls the distance of over-
shoot that the carriage has when it gets to the end of each engraving line. The Ramp
Compensation counter has a numeric range from 1 (one) to 10. The higher the
number (10), the greater the distance that the carriage will over-shoot. Higher
numbers will increase the amount of time that it takes to complete a job. Depending
on the type of image that you are producing, the RAMP COMPENSATION can be
adjusted to provide the best combination of quality and speed. Fine details or
demanding graphics should be run using the factory settings. Large block lettering or
less demanding images can be run at values of 1 or 2 to increase production speeds.
Note: This parameter is set at the factory at a setting of 5 and normally does not
need to be changed.
This adjustment can not be made on the fly. It can only be changed before a job is
sent to the laser.
