EGX-20 USER'S MANUAL
2 Installing and Setting Up the Software
To use the EGX-20, you need to install the driver on the computer connected to the EGX-20.
The EGX-20 also comes with a number of programs for creating engraving and cutting data, which you can use to match the target task.
To use these programs, you need to install and set them up on the computer connected to the EGX-20.
The Software You Can Install and Set Up
The drivers and programs are contained on the Roland Software Package CD-ROM.
Be sure to install a Windows driver.
Install and set up the other software, the programs, as required.
You can use the following drivers and programs with the EGX-20.
Driver or program Overview
Windows driver This is necessary when sending data from a program running under Windows to the EGX-20.
Be sure to install it.
Virtual MODELA This uses data created with 3D Engrave to perform simulations before cutting with the EGX-20.
You can use it to check the finished shape as well as things like whether the cutting depth is suitable and how
much time cutting will take. This can reduce loss for cutting materials and time.
Dr. Engrave This is used to design text and shapes to engrave on a plate and to send the data to the EGX-20.
You can use the TrueType fonts registered in Windows as the font style for text. You can even make stroke fonts
from TrueType fonts.
Because you can the outline of an image and convert it to line segments, it's also possible to include logos for
companies or organizations in the plates you make.
3D Engrave This adds thickness to a flat (two-dimensional) graphic to create a relief (raised engraving).
You can also add thickness to figures and other images.
