== List of certified users ==
Since getting certified entailed having an account set up on the laser cutter computer, that's where/how the list of certified users used to be kept. In a way, that means the list for this tool is the *most* complete. It would probably be possible to pull that list off the computer and put it here. [[User:KathyW|KathyW]] 12:34, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

The true and authoritative list is now driven from the members.pumpingstationone.org server. After a person is authorized, the authorizer should log on to members. and add them to the laser-authorized group. There is a way you can do it from the command line of an ssh client in the space, too, instructions for that are on the wiki. --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 15:07, 3 July 2015 (CDT)

Inskscape can print to the lasercutter directly, '''but''' "hariline/vector cuts" do not work. It will raster the entire image. The only way I have seen it work is to set line thinkness to .001 inches, and save as a pdf. Then print the pdf from adobe acrobat.

Jason Shanfield, who is on on the google group, had this to say about the laser operation and maintenance --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 15:12, 3 July 2015 (CDT)

This was Jason's take on things, but it seems reasoned. Note: once Elizabeth is replaced as the CNC host, read all mention of "Elizabeth" as "The Current CNC Host." --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 15:12, 3 July 2015 (CDT)

== Origin and pointer ==
It seems that sometimes the home position gets misaligned and the laser pointer sits about a half inch down from the y ruler. Going in to adjust the x and y home positions (without changing numbers, currently (-326,+9))seems to have fixed the problem --[[User:Rtystgeeke|Rtystgeeke]] ([[User talk:Rtystgeeke|talk]]) 13:25, 23 July 2015 (CDT)
:What part of [[Epilog_30w_Mini_24_Laser_Engraver#Top_Eight]] is unclear? Please do not "adjust" anything. It took me 20 minutes to correct your "fix". The pointer does not always rest over the absolute or relative origin, however the machine ''will'' plot from that point. This is normal behavior.

::Perhaps I was hasty and you're not the reason the absolute origin was off by 20-30 thousands. Fixed in any event. [[User:Jason|Jason]] ([[User talk:Jason|talk]]) 14:01, 8 August 2015 (CDT)
== Troubleshooting ==
Shelle had some trouble sending print jobs, and there is a [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pumping-station-one/XZNpsIC7JUs/9lKj7uYoEgAJ troubleshooting] thread on the mailing list. [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:03, 12 November 2015 (CST)
