1. SYSTEM SETUP

1.1 PRINTER SETUP

The KE28XX requires either:

220VAC 5A (Fused at 5 amps) 50/60Hz or

110VAC 10A (Fused at 10 amps) 50/60Hz

Refer to the Legend Plate on your marker.

Caution High Leakage Current: this device must be fitted with a Type B (twist lock) plug.

Use a properly approved IEC 309 plug for 220V power connection. Unit must be connected

to a branch circuit with a dedicated circuit breaker. Warning: 220V models both sides of the

incoming line voltage are fused.

Recommended AC plug type is:

Woodhead 1447 for 110V

IEC 309 for 220V

Note: Complete AC Disconnect is accomplished at the power plug

UK Deviation:

Cores in this main are colored in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow: earth, Blue: neutral, brown: live.

The KE28XX should be positioned at least a foot away from the wall to allow room for the

ventilation. The three inch ventilation hose should be attached to the top of the marker to

remove residue from the marking area and should be discharged outside the pulpit area.

This will require an external exhaust fan.

The KE28XX LASER MARKER should be placed in a temperature controlled environment.

This marker, though designed for steel mill use, should be treated as any typical computer

system and printer.

Legend Plate

1.2 AFFIXING THE KE28XX TO SOLID PLATFORM

Important:

The KE28xx support legs are designed to be anchored to the floor or concrete

to prevent the unit from tipping over in the unlikely event of a force exerted

upon the side surfaces of the units. Incorporated in the design of the support

legs are four (4) 33/64" thru-holes. These four (4) thru-holes are to have

placed through them, suitable anchor bolts to affix the KE28XX to the floor.

The type of anchor bolt used will depend upon the base material the KE28XX

will be set upon. Recommended anchor bolts are listed below.

Note:Anchor bolts used are to withstand a tension weight of at least 50

lbs. each.

1.3 TERMINAL SETUP

The Terminal is attached to the top DB-25 connector on the back side of the marker using

the supplied cable. The terminal facilitates the interface between the user and the marker. A

terminal or terminal program is required. The Terminal settings should be:

Emulation -- VT220

Keyboard Type -- 108

Main Port Speed -- 19200

Data Width -- 8

Parity -- None

Stop -- 1

Transmit Flow Control -- X-ON / X-OFF

Receive Flow Control -- X-ON / X-OFF

Host Interface -- RS232

If a terminal was supplied with the KE28XX to enter or exit the terminal settings screen

press SHIFT-F3. To check correct settings on the terminal, power on the marker by

switching the key switch located on front panel to the ON position. The software contained

within the marker should present the user with a bordered windowed screen.

1.5 POWER ON

1. Insert the key into the key switch slot.

2. Turn the key to the “1” position.

3. Pull out the Red Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Jumbo Pushbutton

4. Press the Amber lighted Reset/Tag Feed Pushbutton.

1.6 LOADING NEW TAGS

1. Mount the new roll atop the circular platform to the left of the marker.

2. Feed by hand the tip of the tag stock, pushing it into first roller until it stops “the drive

roller”.

3. Once reaching the drive roller press the Amber Lighted Tag Feed Pushbutton.

Reminder - The marker is not ready for use until the laser E-stop is RESET by pressing

the amber reset button .

1.6.1 Tag Break Off

After pressing the orange tag feed button the tag should align itself to the breakoff location

on the right side of the printer. After each print cycle the printer automatically aligns the tag

stock to the breakoff location. The tag that has exited can then be bent front to back twice

and the tag will break off and release itself. Each tag should be broken off individually so

that there are no more then a single tag at the exit at one time. Allowing more than one

printed tags to hang at the exit can cause several situations to happen that can damage the

printer and cause the printer to malfunction.

Each TAG as Printed should be broken off.

2. OPERATIONS

2.1 PRINTING A TAG

Note - The following assumes the KE28XX marker has already been set up with your particular

tag layout.

The KE28XX marker can be used as a stand-alone marker or data can be downloaded via

RS232 data communications. For demonstration purposes, we will assume the marker will be

used as a stand alone marker.

Tags can only be printed from two screens on the terminal; the MAIN SCREEN, and the

OPERATOR SCREEN. At each of these screens, simply press the PRINT button located on

the front panel. DO NOT hold the PRINT button in for more than 3 seconds. The Laser Marker

is set up to perform a “TEST PRINT” when the PRINT button is depressed for more than 3

seconds.

2.1.1 Printing From The Operator Screen

The OPERATOR SCREEN is a supervisor selectable screen. When the laser marker is

powered ON, the OPERATOR SCREEN is the screen that is displayed if this option is turned on

by the supervisor.

The OPERATOR SCREEN can be customized with up to ten prompted fields. At each prompt

the operator types in the required data and presses ENTER. If the supervisor has set up

verification parameters, the data will be checked for accuracy before the next field can be

entered. If the information is entered incorrectly (i.e. an alpha character where a numeric is

supposed to be), an error message appears and prompts the operator to re-enter the

information in the correct format. Once the correct data has been entered, the OPERATOR

should press the PRINT button on the front control panel. A typical 6” tag will take about 20 -30

seconds, depending on model, to print. After printing the tag is fed through the presentation

slot for easy break off at the nick of the tag.

2.1.2 Printing From The Main Screen

The MAIN SCREEN is the factory default screen. The MAIN SCREEN contains the pull down

menus available for tag editing and laser marker setup. This screen is displayed when the

marker is powered ON if the OPERATOR SCREEN is disabled.

The MAIN SCREEN can be customized with the same prompted fields as the OPERATOR

SCREEN. At each prompt, type the desired information and press ENTER. Once the correct

information has been entered, press the PRINT button on the front control panel to print a tag.

Printing can also be accomplished by using the pull-down menu (top of screen) MARKER.

Simply choose PRINT from the MARKER pull-down menu to print the desired information typed.

The printed tag will be presented to the operator through the presentation slot for easy break off

at the nick of the tag.

2.2 KE28XX SCREENS

The KE28XX is equipped for easy supervisor flexibility and contains many pull down screens

and menus. To move quickly and easily through these screens, the software has been

designed with quick keys. The quick key letters are highlighted on each screen. To use the

quick keys, simply press CTRL-(highlighted letter). You can also use the arrow keypad or the

TAB key to move within each window.

The OPERATOR SCREEN is designed for the normal manual use of the marker. To provide

ease of use, the OPERATOR SCREEN has 8 supervisor selectable prompts on the screen. At

each prompt, the operator types in the required data in the correct format and presses RETURN

or ENTER to enter the data.

To move from the OPERATOR SCREEN to the MAIN SCREEN, press CTRL-X, this step

requires the supervisor password to enter the MAIN SCREEN.

The supervisor can design the look and prompts available on the Operator Screen. The

example below is the Operator Setup Screen (accessed via the Edit Screen, OperSetup

Option).

There are 8 available prompt fields. The prompts in this example are explained below.

The first line will print HEAT # : on the OPERATOR SCREEN and limit the operator to entering

only 4 numbers.

The second line will print SEQ NUM: on the OPERATOR SCREEN and limit the operator to

entering only 2 numbers.

Both will auto clear once the operator starts to type.

The following describes each heading:

ACTIVE - Toggle field (RETURN). Makes prompt show up on OPERATOR SCREEN

PROMPT - Up to a 10 character messages for each prompt.

VERIFY - Verifies information typed is accurate using special characters:

$ - Alpha Upper Case Characters (A,B,C,D...)

# - Numeric Digits (1,2,3,4...)

? - Any Character (A,B,C,1,2,3,?,/,%...)

* - Any Character for any length up to the next instruction.

[ ] -The Characters in the brackets are the only valid characters, exactly as typed.

AUTO CLEAR - Clears the data field when the operator starts to type in the data.

Also causes a clear after each cycle print completed

At the bottom of the OPERATOR SETUP SCREEN has 3 prompts; OK, CANCEL, DEFAULTS.

The following explains each:

OK - Returns to the EDIT SCREEN and saves the operator input layouts.

CANCEL - Returns to the EDIT SCREEN without saving the operator layouts.

DEFAULTS - Restores the operator setups to the defaults.
