Default Settings in Template.mkh
When creating or editing text, use Stroke fonts. These fonts are drawn
and marked on the devices very quickly using point-to-point vectors.
If you choose True Type fonts instead of Stroke fonts, marking time
increases. The table below displays the default setting within the
Template.mkh
file.
The three most important settings are Velocity, Power and Resolution.
These three settings, plus object delays on the Marking tab, are the
primary factors that determine the speed and quality of the laser
mark on devices.
