The laser cutter we have is a ULS PLS6.150D laser.  You can save some time and money by setting up your artwork on your home computer and uploading the resulting .emf file into the laser cutter's computer.  You can do this by downloading and installing the laser print driver on your home computer. The drivers are available for download here  http://www.ulsinc.com/support/software-downloads. Pick UCP Installer and follow the prompts for a PLS 6.150D.  You should add the two 50W CO2 laser sources to get more accurate cut time estimates under the systems tab.  Next, you will print your artwork to the PLS 6.150D from your art software. Check that both lasers are selected. You then will click on the file folder icon located at the top middle of the laser print driver screen.  A dialog box should appear. Use the export to save your file to a thumb drive. When you get to the laser cutter computer open the laser print driver, click on the file folder icon and then import the .emf file.  Click on the select button and you should be ready to run your file on the laser cutter.  

 

 

The computer workstation in the 3-D printing room at Leesburg also has the laser print driver and CorelDRAW installed. You can follow the same process of printing to the print driver, saving the .emf file to a thumb drive and then importing the file onto the laser computer. There is no charge for using the 3-D printing room computer workstation.
