EGX-20 USER'S MANUAL
Creating Data with Dr. Engrave
This section describes the basic steps for engraving a nameplate using Dr. Engrave.
The following explanation is for Windows 95/98/Me.
For an explanation for Windows NT 4.0/2000, or for a more detailed explanation, see the help for Dr. Engrave or
refer to the Dr. Engrave User's Manual (PDF) on the Roland Software Package CD-ROM.
Starting Dr. Engrave
In Windows, click the [Start] button. At the Start menu,
point to [Programs], then [Roland Dr. Engrave]. At the
menu that appears, click [Dr. Engrave].
Dr. Engrave starts.
Specifying the Size of the Plate to Engrave
Make the size of the engraving area displayed by Dr. Engrave the same as the size of the actual plate to engrave.
This is analogous to choosing the form size in a word-processing program.
In Dr. Engrave, from the [File] menu, select [Print
Setup].
The [Print Setup] dialog box appears.
Make sure the printer name is set to [Roland EGX-20] (if
the printer name is not [Roland EGX-20], then click the
drop-down arrow and select [Roland EGX-20]), then
click [Properties].
The [Roland EGX-20 on LPT1: Properties] dialog box
appears.
Measure the size of the plate to engrave with a ruler or
the like, type in the values in the [Width] and [Length]
entry boxes, then click [OK].
The [Print Setup] dialog box appears again, then click
[OK].
The engraving area that Dr. Engrave displays is shown at
the size you specified.
