A logo is composed of 4000 points maximum.

In case the number of points of your logo is higher than this value, a message appears on the screen
and you will have to reduce it.
Page 7 out of 37

You can follow up the number of points by checking the status bar
C. SCALING
The original size of the matrix is 250 x 250 points.

The maximum size of a logo is 4000 points.
The standard X and Y scaling values are 0 for the minimum and 249 for the maximum.
Note : The logo you drew or imported will be inserted in the marking line like a normal character
with the marking set-up of that line regarding the height and the depth, but length will be adjusted.
Scaling can be defined with two different modes :
 Automatic scaling
 Manual scaling
Page 8 out of 37

a) Automatic scaling
To adapt the matrix size on the created logo, use the automatic scaling mode.
Press “Auto” on the scaling window and the result will appear on the logo preview zone as follows :
This example shows that the unused zone represented with the grey colour will be ignored in the text
line. The result on the marking line will be as follows:
AB CD
b) Manual scaling
To have the logo bigger or smaller than a normal character inside a marking line, adjust manually the
horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) values to modify its reference size represented with the white zone.
Example 1 :
Suppose you have to mark the FLEXMARK logo smaller in a text line.
In case you enter the scaling standard values (0,249), the result will appear on the drawing zone as
follows:
The entire drawing zone will be adjusted to the text line size.
Page 9 out of 37

ABC DEF
Example 2:
Suppose you want the logo to be higher than the text line, you can adjust manually the vertical (Y)
values in the scaling window.
The marking line will be as follows :
AB CD
You can also reduce or increase the spacing between the characters and the logo by modifying the
X values in the scaling window.
D. MARKING ORDER
Before saving the logo or transfer it into the FLEXMARK marking machine, a marking order has to be
defined.
The marking order can be defined with two different modes :

 automatic mode
 manual mode
Page 10 out of 37

a) AUTOMATIC MARKING ORDER
The automatic mode is the quickest and easiest way to create a marking order. This mode suits
to most of logos, even complex logos to be marked.
The automatic marking order of a logo will be computed to optimize the marking time.
To use this mode select “Automatic” an click on “Create”.
b) MANUAL MODE
The manual mode suits when the marking time is critical as this mode allows an optimized
marking order (outlined logos….).
To use the manual marking order mode, select “Manual”, and choose “point by point” or
“linear”.
To start the manual marking order, click on , then define the course of the marking
order with the mouse.
Page 11 out of 37

To validate the manual marking order, click on .

A message containing the total number of selected points will be displayed on the screen.
To erase the last computed marking order, click on .
To see the computed marking order course after validation, click on . The
FlexLOG software will trace the course in red colour on the drawing zone again.
To save the marking order, click on the FILE menu and select “Save as…”.
The manual mode proposes two different sub-modes :
 Point by point : Select the drawing point by point by clicking on each point with the mouse,
each selected point appears in red colour on the drawing zone and will be taken into account
in the marking order.
In case you want to delete a point from the marking order, press simultaneously the SHIFT
key on your keyboard, the deleted point appears in red colour on the drawing zone.
In case the point selection is not precise enough, the marking order will take it into account as
well as a 4x4 matrix around the selected point is included in the FlexLOG software to make this
operation easier.
 Linear mode : Describe the course of the marking order with the left button of the mouse
down. The FlexLOG software computes and analyses the course in a 4x4 matrix, deleting
each duplicated point.
You can create as many marking orders you want.
The Zoom function is available in the manual mode.
E. LOGO AND PICTURE IMPORT
Page 12 out of 37

To import a logo or a picture, use the FILE menu.
To import pictures files, click on . A dialog box will appear. Select the
required file (.bmp, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .png, .wmf, .dxf extensions), open it and the picture will appear on
the drawing zone.
To adjust the brightness of the imported picture increasing or decreasing the number of points, use
the cursor . The picture appearance is immediately updated so

that you can preview it.
While importing a vector picture (.dxf), no size change or scaling is made.

In case the imported vector picture has to be modified (additions, points deletion, lines, curves, or
text), here are the instructions for use so that modifications are well placed on the drawing :
 Import the vector picture,
 Launch the marking order,
 Save the logo,
 Open the logo, this operation will create the scaling for modifications.
While importing pictures with bitmap format, an automatic scaling is carried out, in this way scaling
of the majority of imported pictures formats is taken into account.
In case the imported picture is out of shape, you can modify the picture size before importing it again
with a drawing software so as the picture becomes a square (format 250 x 250).
