Chapter 4 Engraving
Adjusting the Cutter Feed Rate During Engraving (Override)
While engraving is in progress, you can pause operation and adjust the feed rate for the cutter. You adjust the feed rate
by specifying a ratio of change relative to the present feed rate. This feature is called “override.”
The feed rate can be adjusted only within the machine’s settable feed-rate range. If a feed rate that falls outside the
settable range is set by an override, the actual feed rate is limited to the maximum or minimum feed rate.
