Description:

Turns on the laser.

If the "head lsrmode" is set to 0 or 3 (original mode) then the power setpoint is the value specified by the hdm NVS parameter "wpower" or "wpowern" depending on the mode of operation (wide or narrow). When not running a work station image then selection of wide or narrow depends on the setting of "hdp fnm".

Starting with head version 1.56 (needs matching MPE code as well) if the "head lsrmode" is set to 1 or 2 (exposure control mode) then the laser power setpoint is the hdm NVS parameter "wpowere". Note that this value is automatically set everytime a machine initiated stroke cal is done. The calculated wpowere value depends on the "media sens" setting, the "drum diam", the "hdm ds" setting and the "head swidth" setting.

Note that the new exposure mode does not use the obsolete "sys es" flag. Instead, it is controlled instead by the "head lsrmode" parameter.

Beam positioning is enabled.

Used for field service and integration.
