; The Hermes IS6000 has a very simplistic control.  
; You need to set it to run at its default XY0 position 
; at the forward left corner on the machine.  Setting it anywhere
; else (IE. trying to set it to lower left corner of part) will cause
; machine limit overtravel.  You then need
; to move the part in Artcam to offset the lower left corner
; equal to the distances listed on the machine.  
; The part in Artcam should be listed with the XY0 in the 
; Lower Left corner.  Setting it to center will cause the 
; machine to tell you the file is too large when it isn't.
; 
; You need to send this file out to the machine by using
; the command (in DOS) "COPY C:\filename.plt LPT1" if it 
; is connected via parallel port.
;
; After sending the file via parallel port, make sure to hit
; the green button on the control again to execute code before
; the buffer limit is reached.
