Note:

To ensure that the engraving results are not affected by the order of execution, there are two recommendations:

1. Engraving before cutting: the order of work execution is from the top to the bottom of the layer, make sure the engraving layer is on top and the cutting layer is on the bottom to avoid the wrong focus of engraving caused by the collapse of the object after cutting, which will affect the engraving result.

2. As shown below, if there are multiple cut objects in the same layer, and there is an inner and outer relationship, then the inner objects will be cut first, and then the outer objects will be cut; if object a is in object b, then object a will be cut first and then object b.

Troubleshooting

• Cooler Off
• Door Opened
• Homing Failed
• If the engraving result is blurred or the color is dim, please check if the material is properly focused. If it doesn't work, inspecting the optical path is recommended.
