Third-Party Graphic Software Conguration
Choosing the right graphics software program to run the laser system is essential for maximum usage and control of
the laser system. Not all software can be used to run the laser system because many have limitations. Setting up your
software correctly is essential to running the laser system properly.
The following examples assume that you are conguring the software for a VersaLASER system. If you have a dierent
laser system, substitute the correct maximum page size.
We have provided specic instructions for setting up CorelDRAW X3/X4, AutoCAD 2000i/2002/2004/LT 2007 & 2008,
and Adobe Illustrator CS/CS2/CS3 in order for these programs to work well with the laser system.
Specic Software Setup
Some graphics software programs require a special setup procedure in order for the software to function correctly
with the ULS printer driver. In the following pages, you will nd setup instructions for the most popular software
programs that our customers use. As a reminder, ULS provides no warranties whatsoever on any software used in
connection with a ULS Laser Engraving System, express or implied. Neither does it guarantee software compatibility
with any o-the-shelf software package or any software program that has not been written by ULS.
The following suggested programs are widely used by ULS customers and are considered to be the most functional
and compatible programs to use with the laser system.

*Earlier versions of CorelDRAW, such as 8 or 9, have problems with the XP Operating System, which in turn, causes problems with the operation of
the laser system. As a result, ULS recommends CorelDRAW X3/X4 over earlier versions. While ULS has made reasonable eorts to ensure the laser
system as compatible as possible with graphics and CAD software written for the Windows XP operating system, ULS cannot guarantee complete
compatibility with any software.
