GoScribe Operation
**Important Safety Information**
The GoScribe machine will not operate with the door open. For emergency stop simply open
the door.
1. Plug the mini keyboard into the side of the GoScribe.
2. Plug the power cord into the GoScribe. Then plug the other end into a protected power strip.
3 Now turn on the Goscribe Engraver by pressing the switch next to the power plug in.
4. Choose a tag to engrave by pressing the corresponding function key on the mini keyboard.
You can also choose a tag by touching the corresponding tag on the lcd screen.
Press the left and right arrow on the mini keyboard or lcd to scroll through the additional screens
with more tag options.
5. Notice the LCD screen is now prompting you to “Insert tag and close door”. Open the door of
the engraver and place the correct tag holder with tag inserted.
6. Type the personalized tag information. As you type it will appear on the tag automatically
centered. To choose alternative fonts press Control + F. To make a line larger use the up
down arrow keys to select a specific line and then press Shift + Up/Down arrow to increase or
decrease the text height for that line. You may only increase/decrease the text height of one
line. This is useful to make the pet name stand out for example.
**Notice all the options are displayed below the tag on the screen with many helpful quick key
options:
ESC : Pressing the Escape returns the user to the beginning screen.
Control + N : Erases the information stored from a previous tag. The GoScribe
remembers the last id tag data to simplify making identical tags. Pressing Control + N quickly
removes any data for making new tags with new information.
Control + F: Changes font between standard engravers block font
wide, tall, and a fancy script. For tall tags like the round tag choose
the tall block font to fill the vertical space. For wide tags like the
bone and dog tag choose the wide block font. With practice you will
see these two fonts make certain tags look best by filling the tag
with larger letters.
GO : Pressing the green “Go” button starts the GoScribe engraver
and engraves what you have typed on the tag.
Shift + UP/Down Arrow: This is a very useful feature and lets you
individually customize a line of text. Most often this is used to make
the pet name or owner name on the first line of text larger than the
rest of the lines to stand out. Simply put the cursor on the line you
would like to change and hold the shift button and then
simultaneously press the up arrow or down arrow. Notice on the LCD
the line will automatically become larger or smaller.
CAPS: Is displayed in blue when all caps button is on.
7. Press the green “Go” button on the GoScribe to begin scribing operation. If there is a problem
and you need to stop the machine remember you may simply open the door to immediately halt
the machine.
**If you open the door you will see a red “Aborted” message. To reset the GoScribe you must
then:
1. Press Escape
2. Choose the tag function key again. This will rehome the machine and put it in ready
state to select a new tag.
8. The GoScribe Mini will complete scribing and return to its home position and stop. You may
now open the door and remove the id tag.
***Scribe Graphics**The GoScribe comes with over 59 popular graphics that may be scribed
on the tags. To scribe a graphic press "g" from the main screen to go into graphics mode. Then
select the tag shape function key for the tag shape you would like to scribe a graphic on. Insert
a tag and close the door. Press G to pull up the graphics available to scribe. Use the left and
right arrows to select a graphic. Press the left and right arrow on the mini keyboard to scroll
through the additional screens with more graphic options.
Once you have a graphic highlighted press Enter. The LCD will now display the graphic on the
tag. Press R to rotate the image if required. Press Go to scribe the graphic onto the tag.
Swarovski Charm Tags
*For our new charm style bone tags with genuine Swarovski crystals you should put 2 spaces
before the pet name and 2 spaces after the pet name. This makes the pet name smaller to allow
room to be scribed without hitting the crystals. Scribe the back of the tag as normal.
Some useful things to note:
*The GoScribe Mini remembers the data from the last tag that was engraved. This saves time
engraving many tags of the same information even if each tag is a different shape. Or if for
example a customer needs 10 pet tags and they all have the same address and phone number
but different pet names you need only edit the pet name on each tag. If you are engraving a
completely new tag then just use the quick Control + N combination to remove all data from the
tag and start fresh.
*The GoScribe Mini was engineered to make a nice scribe on the first pass. Yet sometimes you
may want a deeper scribe. Since the data is stored from the previous tag you may simply
choose the tag shape again and press Go to scribe it one more time for a deeper engraving.
Maintenance
The GoScribe has been engineered to require very little maintenance. All that is necessary is to
clean the inside of the machine with a soft cloth from time to time when dust and engraving
particles build up. Unplug the machine while doing cleaning. Wipe down all the parts you can
reach with a soft cloth. For the pink vacuum material rub it clean with soap and water and then
dry when finished.
