If the system was purchased as a complete package, it may be configured for automatic connection. In this case, the machine will connect during startup.


After reviewing the I-Mark ribbon interface, the next step is to connect the marking machine to the IM200 controller. 

Procedure

  1. Select the Marking tab located on the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. Click Connect to Marking Machine.

  1. The system will verify network status and initiate pairing between the marking head and the IM200 controller.
  2. When the connection is successful, a green check mark will appear next to the machine ID in the left navigation pane (e.g., IM-M75, IM-M125, IM-M200).

Select the machine ID to open the controller window. 

  1. The machine control page will open. This is the active control interface for the connected marking system.

Control Page Functions

The control page allows you to:

  • Download marking programs to the machine
  • Adjust machine settings
  • Execute marking operations

Once connected, the system is ready for layout creation and program execution.


Troubleshooting

If the machine does not pair:

  • Verify network connections.
  • Confirm the controller and marking head are powered on.
  • Check and modify the IP address configuration as needed.
  • Verify you are using matching hardware and matching software. 

If no systems are available, check the following issues:

  • Is the computer that I-Mark is running on connected to the network?
  • Are the Marking Systems connected to the Network?
  • Are the Marking Systems on?
  • Have the Marking Systems been properly configured/mapped?
