Laser marking with DirectMark - as simple as printing

Laser marking with a ProMarker is as simple as printing. The supplied and already pre-installed laser software DirectMark operates like a printer driver. You process your graphics in your known graphics program (e.g. CorelDraw in this tutorial), and send the desired data file to the laser via a print command. In this manual you will learn how to handle this simple marking task:

Switch on the laser
Select the printer driver DirectMark
Make the necessary settings (among others laser parameters)
Adjust the laser focus (different possibilities)
Position the component (pilot laser)
Start the laser job.

Now you have successfully personalized your product.
