Printer Options
There are two main printing options with the PS System. One prints
paper labels and the other is a Laser printer by WinMark which
marks the surface of the devices. Both are described in this section,
and each has a separate Operation Manual which came with your
PS System if it has the option.
Figure 3-50: Manuals for the Label printer and the Laser printer.

(Optional) Creating a Laser Marking File
Laser graphics used to mark devices are generated using
WinMark Pro software. It may be on the Laser Computer
located in
the Option Bay (some models) or on the Handler Computer.
Any style of marking (whether text-based, graphic-based, or both)
can be generated and used for marking devices. The only limitation is
the size of the device to be marked.
Creating an Image File for the Laser System
To create an image file for the laser system to use in laser marking
devices:
1. Preparation—
1a. Select the Laser Computer by pressing the Ctrl key twice— a list
of all computers is displayed on the monitor. If you don’t have a
Laser computer skip this step.
Note: The touch screen does not work while viewing the Laser
Computer. Use the keyboard and track pad.
1b. Navigate to and copy the file
Template.mkh
(or copy the .
mkh
file from an existing job).
1c. Paste it and rename it to the name you gave the laser marking
(drawing) file in the job creation process, for example,
Ver7.mkh
.
1d. Start WinMark Pro by double-clicking the WinMark icon on the
desktop.
2. Load the file—
2a. Select File > Load.
2b. Select your laser marking file from the list, or navigate to the file
and select it.
2c. Click Open to load the file.
