1 What to Do Before Marking

What's Metaza?

This machine is a metal printer.

It can mark photographs, drawings, text, and the like on the surfaces of flat metal and plastic. For more information about materials that can be marked, see "2-1 Getting Ready to Perform Marking."

How the Machine Works

This machine uses a diamond tipped stylus to mark the surface of metal or plastic, creating intricate depressions.

The size of the depressions is varied by controlling the marking force, making it possible to express light and dark areas of the image.

This is exactly analogous to the way a monochrome printer expresses light and dark area by varying the size and arrangement of dots.

Printer

METAZA

If the marking force is not varied according to the hardness of the metal, different marking results will be obtained for the same image.

However, there is no need to make troublesome settings.

Just use the included Windows driver and choose the composition of the material you want to mark.

Choosing the composition automatically selects the suitable marking force for the material.

Even when the composition is the same, strength may vary if the casting method or post-machining method is changed. In such cases, make fine adjustments in the marking force. (You can save the adjustment results in a file.)

Hardness of surface to mark

Shape of surface to mark


Vickers hardness (HV) of 200 or less

* Note that materials which may crack or split by marking (such as glass, stone, precious stones, china, and porcelain) cannot be marked even if hardness is within the preceding range.

Attempting to mark such materials may damage the machine.

Flat, with no difference in level

- Examples of material that cannot be marked

Shape of the back of the surface to mark

Edge of the material is too high.

Surface to mark is not straight.

When placed on the base, the surface to mark must be flat and level.

Preparing the Image

Prepare an image (such as a photograph or drawing) for marking.

Vector data cannot be used. Provide bitmap data.

Bitmap data in JPEG or BMP format can be used with Dr.METAZA2. If you're using a commercially available program to prepare the data, refer to the program documentation.

[Definition] Bitmap Data and Vector Data

Bitmap data uses a format that represents images as a collection of dots (points). Bitmap data is sometimes called "bitmapped graphics" or "raster data." Most paint-type applications (ex. Paint and Adobe Photoshop) display images as bitmap data.

Vector data uses a format that represents images as a number of reference points and lines that connect these points. Applications such as many draw-type programs (ex. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW) can be used to create images using vector data.

24


2-2 Loading the Workpiece

1 Open the cover.

2 Grasp the base on both sides and pull back toward you to remove.

3 Place the workpiece so that the center of the place to mark is aligned with the center of the scale.

Important!

Powder or dust on the adhesive sheet can reduce the sheet's adhesive force, making it impossible to secure material in place.

If the adhesive force has been reduced, then wash the adhesive sheet. Washing the sheet revitalizes its adhesive force. For information on how to clean the adhesive sheet, take a look at "4 Maintenance", "Cleaning the Adhesive Sheet."

4 Press down on the workpiece gently to secure it in place.

Pressing down forcefully may make it difficult to remove the workpiece from the base.

5 Loosen the screw and press down from above with the leveler.

Press down until the leveler completely touches the top surface of the base. There is no need to use excessive force.

6 While pressing down with the leveler, tighten the screw.

When tightening the screw, be careful not to let the height of the surface to be marked change.

3-1 Adding a Workpiece Shape

If you want to use a workpiece having a shape other than a circle (ellipse), quadrilateral, or diamond, you need to add the shape.

You can use either of two methods to register a shape with Dr.METAZA2.

Acquiring the shape of a workpiece with a scanner

Creating the shape using a commercial paint-type program

If you have a scanner, we recommend using the first method. The second method can be used if the shape of the workpiece cannot easily be acquired with the scanner, or if you don't have a scanner.

Acquiring the Shape of a Workpiece with a Scanner

Use a TWAIN32-compliant scanner to scan the shape (outline) of the workpiece.

If you are using a flat-bed scanner, you can scan the workpiece as it is. If you are using another type of scanner, then copy the shape of the workpiece to a piece of paper and scan the paper to acquire the shape.

1 Place the workpiece on the scanner. Alternatively, place a sheet of paper onto which the workpiece has been copied on the scanner.

2 From the [File] menu, click [Add Material] - [Scan...].

The screen for the scanner driver appears.

3 Operate the scanner driver to scan the shape of the workpiece.

For the number of colors, select "Black and White" (binary). For information about how to operate the scanner driver, refer to the user's documentation for the scanner.

4 When scanning ends, the [Add Material] dialog box appears.

39

3 Dr.METAZA2 Guide

5 In the [Add Material] dialog box, for [Resolution], enter the same value as the resolution you specified with the scanner driver when performing scanning.

6 Type a name of shape.

7 Use preview to check the shape of the workpiece, and if it's acceptable, click [Add].

Creating the Shape Using a Commercial Paint-type Program

You can use a commercial paint-type program to create a shape, then register it with Dr.METAZA2.

Vector data cannot be used. Prepare bitmap data that meets the offer conditions.

Number of colors:

File format:

Binary (black and white)

(Fill the interior of the shape with black, and make other portions white or uncolored.)

To change the trimming location, drag the inside of the shaded frame. To change the trimming size, drag the pointers ( ).

42

If you're not satisfied with the trimming area, you can do it over as many times as you like.

However, you can only redo the operation after importing the image until you quit Dr.METAZA2. To change the trimming area after that, reimport the original image.

3 Dr.METAZA2 Guide

3-3 Cropping Only Needed Images

You can crop just the necessary portion of an image imported into Dr.METAZA2. This means you can extract the image of a specific person from a photograph, or conversely extract just the background image.

1


2 From the [Object] menu, click [Crop Image].

The [Crop Image] dialog box appears.

3 To change the color used to indicate areas specified as transparent locations, click [Transparent Color].

To make it easier to identify the cropped area, it may be a good idea to specify a color that lets you distinguish the contours of the area from their surroundings.

For example, when cropping the image of a person, specify a color system that differs from the person's hair, skin, and clothing.

4

Click , then click the location to make transparent.

This fills the clicked pixel and adjacent pixels of approximately the same color.

43

3 Dr.METAZA2 Guide

5 If the area filled is too extensive or insufficient, you can redo the operation.

Click , change the value for [Approximate Color for Fill], then click a second time.

To enlarge the area filled, make the value larger. To reduce the area, make the value smaller.

Specify the approximate transparent location by repeating this process of clicking as you vary the fill area.

6 After you have specified the approximate transparent area, finish using the pen tool.

Click parent.

, then click the area you want to make trans-

7 To change the width of the pen, change the value for

[Pen Diameter].

Tip

Another method is to use the pen tool to trace the outline of the image you want to crop, then use the fill tool to perform finishing in a single step.

When the outline is composed of straight lines, this method may enable you to accomplish the task more easily.

When you know ahead of time that cropping will be performed, using colors of the same type for the background enables you to perform cropping quickly and easily.

One example of this would be taking a photo of a person with a single-color wall as the background.

Is the power for the machine switched on?

Is the cable connected?

Remedy

Press the [STANDBY] key to switch on the power.

Is the STANDBY LED flashing?

Check whether the USB cable is loose or detached.

If the cable is loose or detached, switch off the power and reconnect the cable.

The STANDBY LED flashes when some error occurs in the machine.

Stop sending data and switch off the power to the machine. Eliminate the cause of the error, then send the marking data again.

The Dr.METAZA2 does not function.

What to check

Does the computer provide the correct system requirements for

Dr.METAZA2?

Remedy

Use a computer that matches the system requirements for Dr.METAZA2. For more information about the system requirements for Dr.METAZA2, see "1-3 Installing and Setting Up to the Software."

5 Troubleshooting

Machining is performed, but marking is not possible.

What to check

Is the workpiece loaded at the correct location?

Does the workpiece to mark meet the "Conditions for materials that can be marked"?

Remedy

If empty marking is being performed at a location other than where the workpiece is loaded, reload the workpiece.

See "2-1 Getting Ready to Perform Marking" and prepare a workpiece that can be marked.

Images are unattractive -- faint (images are dim).

What to check

Are the workpiece settings for the

Metaza driver correct?

The image is uniformly dim.

White is reproduced, but grayscale tones are faint.

Remedy

Choose the composition of the loaded workpiece.

Even if the material is the same, the hardness of the marking surface may vary greatly depending on the casting method, the composition of impurities, the presence of plating, and so on. In such cases, perform fine adjustment of the marking force.

Perform marking while increasing the brightness of [Gamma] or [Brightness] for the machine driver a little at a time.

At this time, leave the workpiece loaded and perform overstriking at the same location. Change the driver settings and continue marking until you obtain the darkness you want.

Choose a custom workpiece (settings A through E), and adjust the marking force.

Perform marking while leaving the value for [Impact--MAX] unchanged and increasing the value for [Impact--MIN] a little at a time.

At this time, leave the workpiece loaded and perform overstriking at the same location. Change the driver settings and continue marking until you obtain the darkness you want.

Important!

The various setting values determined with overstriking are effective only when performing overstriking. The same results are not necessarily obtained when marking is performed with a new workpiece under identical conditions.

Images are unattractive -- dark (all images are whitish).

What to check

Are the workpiece settings for the

Metaza driver correct?

Remedy

Choose the composition of the loaded workpiece.

Even if the material is the same, the hardness of the marking surface may vary greatly depending on the casting method, the composition of impurities, the presence of plating, and so on. In such cases, perform fine adjustment of the marking force.

59

5 Troubleshooting

Images are unattractive -- uneven.

What to check

Is the marking surface slightly uneven?

The marking surface is not uneven, but image darkness is uneven.

Is [Bi-Direction] selected?

Remedy

Replace with a workpiece having a level marking surface.

Overstriking with a workpiece loaded at the same location may improve image quality.

Change [Gamma], [Brightness], and [Contrast], then perform overstriking with the workpiece.

Selecting [Bi-Direction] makes the time required for marking shorter but it may cause poor image quality. In this case, change a workpiece and clear the selection for [Bi-Direction].

Is a portion of the image missing?

The workpiece may not be loaded correctly, or there may be partial differences in the height of the marking surface.

Load the workpiece again.

The image at the same location is always too light (or too dark), or the image is uneven.

If the image is often too light near the front-right area of the base, adjusting the tilt of the base may improve image quality. Doing this can reduce unevenness in the image due to the marking position.

Image unevenness due to tilt is often hard to detect near the center of the base, and tends to become more conspicuous at distances increasingly farther away from the center (especially with larger images). Adjustment for generally favorable image quality is performed when the machine is shipped from the factory, but you should adjust the tilt to for each individual situation to achieve an optimal state.

Note that even after adjustment, image unevenness may occur that is due to factors other than tilting of the base, such as warping or deformation of the workpiece. Also, adjustment has no effect on image unevenness that is unrelated to the marking location, such as cases in which the location where image unevenness occurs is different with each workpiece or image.

1 Load the workpiece included with the machine at the center of the base. If the included workpiece has been used up, then prepare a workpiece that is larger than 60 mm and has a smoothness of 0.05 mm or less.

For information on how to load the workpiece, refer to

"2-2 Loading the Workpiece."

The marked location isn't where desired.

The center of the base scale may not coincide with the machine's marking origin point.

To correct displacement between the scale center and the marking origin point, follow the steps below.

1 Load an unneeded workpiece that will not be used for marking on the base. Prepare a workpiece that is about

10 to 20 mm (1/2 to 1 in.) square.

For information on how to load the workpiece, refer to

"2-2 Loading the Workpiece."

2 Start Dr.METAZA2, and in the [Sample] folder, open

[Axis.dmz].

3 Perform marking.


When doing this, be careful to ensure that the loaded position of the workpiece does not change.
