The depth regulator unit is affected by changes in temperature.
• A sensor on the depth regulator unit detects the surface of the plate being engraved, but large changes in temperature may alter the
depth. Use care when using near an air conditioner or heater.
In cases like this, reinstall the cutter (thereby realigning it with the reference surface).
Feature for Specifying a Number of Different Cutting Parameters
Dr. Engrave lets you specify up to eight different colors for the lines that are drawn, and the driver lets you set different sets of cutting
parameters for each color. With the defaults, black is the driver's first setting and red is the second. Using this lets you do things like
giving black text a depth of 0.1 mm and red text a depth of 0.08 mm.
Maximum Cutting Depth
This is up to 1 mm in the Engraving mode and up to 7 mm in the 3D Cutting mode. Do not attempt cutting that exceeds these depths.
Functions Using the Switch Panel on the EGX-20
In addition to the usual operations using the switch panel, you can also use the switch panel to carry out operations like the ones
described below.
Carry out the following operations with the power to the EGX-20 switched off and the EGX-20 disconnected from the AC adapter.
Displaying the Working Time of the Spindle Motor
During normal operation, if the Z-axis light flashes slowly for ten seconds (four or five flashes) when you turn on the power, it means the
spindle motor has been powered up for over 1,000 hours.
The spindle motor is a consumable part. As a general guide, we recommend replacing it after every 1,000 hours.
You can also use the following procedure to check the number of hours that the spindle motor has been powered.
1. While holding down the View button on the switch panel, insert the AC adapter into the EGX-20.
The illumination and flashing of the Z-axis light, Power light, View light, and Origin Set light show how many hours the unit has
been powered up.
Less than 250 hours Less than 500 hours Less than 750 hours Less than 1,000 hours 1,000 hours or more

2. After you have verified the time, press the View button. This switched off the power.
Resetting the Working Time of the Spindle Motor
When you have replaced the spindle motor with a new motor, follow the steps below.
• While holding down the power and View buttons on the switch panel, insert the AC adapter into the EGX-20.
The View light illuminates and the powered time of the spindle motor is reset.
Setting the Origin Point to Its Default Value (the Lower Left Corner)
• While holding down the Origin Set button on the switch panel, insert the AC adapter into the EGX-20.
The Origin Set light illuminates and the origin point is set to its default (at the lower left corner).
