The Options tab allows you to set a number of options for engraving jobs.
1. Send all tools group box |
2. Cut lines group box |
3. Driver options group box |
Send all tools |
Check to engrave all tools and select how each tool will be processed. |
|
|
Single Job |
The job is sent as a single file and processed using the same panel size for all tools. |
|
Multiple Jobs |
A separate job file is created for each tool but they are still processed using the same panel size for all tools. |
|
Pause between tools |
Check to enable Production Manager to prompt you to insert the next tool for each tool change. This option can only be selected when Send all tools is checked. |
Cut lines |
Cuts a rectangle around each serialized copy or between serialized objects. |
|
|
Cut lines between copies |
For a single object, Cut lines will engrave a border. For multiple objects, Cut lines will engrave a border around each copy. These lines do not overlap. |
|
Panel margin |
For a single object, Panel margin sets the amount of space between cut lines. For multiple copies, Panel margin sets the amount of space between cut lines. |
|
Tool |
Opens the Tool dialog box. You can choose a tool name, change Depth, Stepdown and Clearance. (See "Tool Options" to the right for more information.) |
Pause between sheets |
Selects whether Production Manager should pause after each sheet is processed, allowing you to load the material and align Registration Marks after each sheet. |
|
Automatic registration marks |
For long plate / wide plate jobs, the software creates a dot on each tile, which will assist in aligning the final output. After each tile is processed, use the created Registration Mark to line the tile up with the top-left corner of the engraver. See Tiling All Copies Individually for more information. |

Allows you to adjust engraving parameters for Before job, After Job and Macro. (See Engraver Driver Options for more information.) |
End position points allow you to specify where the engraver will return at the end of the job. |
