1. DESCRIPTION
1-1. Description of display operation
1-1-1. BASIC OPERATION
The machine has various buttons arranged on each display. The
buttons function when the corresponding portions on the display are
pressed or touched. Some of the buttons illuminate to indicate that
they are pressed.
1-1-2. ENTERING LETTERS AND NUMERALS
Use the accessory keyboard to enter or edit the letters and numerals on
each display.
1-1-3. SCROLL BARS
One or two scroll bars appear when all data cannot be shown on one
display as is the case with a file list. The display can also be scrolled
by pressing the scroll bar up and down buttons or moving up and down
the scroll bar lever.
1-1-4. CURSOR
When you touch the display position to which you want to move the
cursor, the cursor moves to that position.
If the display has cursor buttons, press the cursor buttons to move the
cursor to your desired position on the display.
The cursor moves also when the display is scrolled with the scroll bar
or bars.

1-2. Composition of displays
There are eight displays: PRE-EDIT, SCHEDULE, PROGRAM,
RESULT, UTILITY, COND. (processing condition), and MAINT.
(maintenance). Press the corresponding button to change to each
display.
PRE-EDIT (background) button
Pressed to open the PRE-EDIT display to create and edit the next
program or schedule while the machine is operating. You can also
check the setup of the next program and check the part by drawing it
while the machine is operating.
I-5
SCHEDULE button
Pressed to open the SCHEDULE display to read a schedule, create a
schedule, and set a start job or end job. You can also check the setup
and check the part by drawing it before operating the machine.
PROGRAM button
Pressed to open the PROGRAM display to show a program. You can
also check the setup and check the part by drawing it before operating
the machine.
I-6
RESULT button
Pressed to open the RESULT display to show the actual processing
results.
UTILITY button
Pressed to open the UTILITY display to zero-return the machine’s axes
and make various adjustments.
I-7
COND. button
Pressed to open the display to select and set the laser processing
conditions.
MAINT. button
Pressed to open the maintenance display to show maintenance items
and machine information.
