Trotec Laser Troubleshooting

Job Control error "No more room left for jobs":
- Make sure your job is smaller than 27" x 17"
- Make sure you're sending your job in the correct orientation.
Laser decides not to cut all, or certain vectors:
- Make sure you don't have overlapping cut lines. This can be caused by using the "Paste in Place" function in Illustrator.
- In Illustrator:
  - Check your Document Color Mode (duh).
  - Check the dropdown menu in the color tool pallate. Confirm that RGB is selected, and not Greyscale or other.
  - Select your vectors and bring up the color dialog. Make sure the "Web Colors" checkbox is de-selected. This has the same effect as using CMYK.
    - @blackmad - I think the right way to do this is Edit menu -> Edit Colors -> RGB
- When rasterizing vectors for engraving, it seems like the laser really prefers that the background is white, not transparent - especially if you're going to have vector cut lines over it - @blackmad
Laser chamber fills with smoke.
- Check that the air filter is working, by manually toggling the air filter power button. On the airfilter console, this button's icon is a circle with a line through it. If it's not running, stop working and call Peter or another other operations team member.
