Section 8: Using the Epilog Legend Systems
74
Job/Shuttle (Round Knob)
The Jog/Shuttle is used to raise and lower the table, as well as to change settings like
speed and power. The keys and menus are used to specify what the Jog/Shuttle will
do. These functions are described in detail later in this Section. The rate of change
caused by the inner ring depends on how fast you spin it. The direction depends on
whether you spin it clockwise or counterclockwise. The outer ring rate depends on
the angle of the ring. The farther you turn it, the faster the change (up to the limit).
Stop
This key servers two purposes. 1) While engraving, this key will stop the carriage,
and turn off the laser beam. While cutting, pressing this key will tell the machine to
stop at the end of the line it is currently cutting or at the next node location. Once the
Legend has stopped, you can open the door to examine your engraving. By closing
the door and pressing the GO button, the Legend will start engraving at the point
where it stopped. As long as you did not disturb the work piece, it will continue
engraving or cutting without loss of registration. 2) Pressing this key before
manually focusing will allow you to lower the engraving table without moving the
head out of the park position.
Go
This key serves two purposes. 1) Use this key to continue a job that has been
stopped. If the machine has been stopped mid-job it will resume where it left off. 2)
Pressing this key before a job is printed puts the Legend into “Ready” mode and will
allow the job to start immediately without accessing the “Jobs” menu.
Reset
This key is used to reset the carriage to home position. RESET does not erase a
design/job from memory. Resetting the Legend will send the carriage back to home
position and allow you to repeat the same design/job or begin a new one. The
“STOP” key should always be used to stop the job before pressing the “RESET” key.
