Section 8: Using the Epilog Legend Systems

Focus
Pressing the FOCUS key and then turning the Jog/Shuttle knob raises or lowers the
table to move your work piece closer to, or further from, the fixed focus lens. A
metal focus gauge is provided to determine the correct distance from the work piece
to the focus lens. The focus gauge is included in the accessory kit. The work piece
should be raised just to the point where the gauge touches your work piece. Remove
the gauge when you are done focusing. Press ENTER when you are done focusing.
That will restore the control knob to the menu. If your piece is tall enough to run into
either the focus gauge or the air assist tube, press the STOP key before pressing the
FOCUS key. This will allow the table to be lowered without moving the head from
the park position and running over your piece.
Enter and Escape (Menu Controls)
The Legend has direct keys for the most commonly used functions. Others must be
accessed through a menu. Across the top of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are the
menu headings. Push the left and right arrow keys and you will see the “active”
heading scroll from left to right by means of highlighting. When the one you are
interested in is highlighted, press the ENTER key. That will cause the chosen menu
heading to drop down, much like the menus on a personal computer. Press the up and
down arrow keys and the highlighted sub-heading will scroll up and down. Again,
when the one you want is highlighted press ENTER. You can either select one from
a list of choices, or enter a numeric quantity by turning the Jog/Shuttle knob (like
speed or power). You can back up one level in the menu by pressing the ESCAPE
key. All the choices shown below may not be available on your machine, as they
involve optional features or equipment.
