The following is a usage policy for the laser so that everyone has the benefit of using the machine:

* Any user not actively test cutting or cutting will cede the computer and laser to the next person waiting in line, as soon as that waiting user notifies the current computer user. If you need to setup your file please do so in a timely fashion or use another computer. Artastic in the Crafts Area has a copy of Illustrator.

If you are still designing your file, please do so on another computer. Artastic in the Crafts Area has a copy of Illustrator.

* If someone is waiting in line to use the laser, no active test cut or cut series shall be longer than 1 hour. No jobs will be allowed to start that overrun the 1 hour time limit when a new user is waiting.
