→ Connection → Select Wi-Fi → Click
→ Select your device → Click Open → Tap Yes on the touchscreen. -
Go to Laser G-code Generator
and select Load G-code to Workspace to load the generated G-code to Workspace .
- If you have already measured the focal length and material thickness, you can enter the thickness in Printing Auto Mode .
- Set a relatively small value (e.g. 1%) for Laser Power and turn on the laser beam.
- Use **X- / X+ / Y- / Y+ ** to move the laser dot to where the work origin will be, click Set Work Origin and Run Boundary to check if the work origin is at the right place.
Note : If the work origin is set up incorrectly, please reset the work origin and run boundary again.
- Click
to start engraving / cutting.
Note 1 : The computer must be connected to the machine via Wi-Fi throughout the process.
Note 2 : You can change the settings for Laser Power and Work Speed during the engraving / cutting process.
Note 3: The Laser module will reach a height of (Material thickness + Laser height).
Note 4: “Z” button on the touchscreen will grey out and the machine will consider the height of (Material thickness + Laser height) as the focal distance.
Tips : If the material thickness is unknown, you can deselect Printing Auto Mode and change to Printing Manual Mode .
When using the Printing Manual Mode , please do the following:
Set a relatively small value (e.g. 1%) for Laser Power and turn on the laser beam → Use X- / X+ / Y- / Y+ / Z- / Z+ to move the laser dot to where the work origin will be → Use Z- / Z+ to adjust the height of the laser module until the laser beam is focused down to the smallest spot → Click Set Work Origin → Click Run Boundary → Click to start engraving / cutting.
Note : If the work origin is set up incorrectly, please reset the work origin and run boundary again.

Tips:
- When using the auto-focus, the machine will consider the proper focal distance equals the sum of material thickness and laser height.
- Laser height is a safety distance of the Laser engraving module, which should be from 21 - 25 millimetres.
