Note：
If you import an image, your design will appear on the left of the canvas. Resize the canvas to find your design.

4. Import the settings based on Appendix 1.
Note：
If the settings panel does not appear, select the design from the Graphics list to activate it.
5. Place the preview helper on the material to check the engraving area. After preview confirmation, remove the preview helper.
6. Click “Start (F2)ˮ to begin engraving. After completion, the platform will return automatically. Remove the workpiece and clean any dirt.
Note：
Please ensure you are wearing protective glasses while the laser is operating!

If the “Preview Contour” is Clicked, preview will show the outline of the processing objects.
If the “Preview Contour” is Unclicked, preview will show the rectangle border of the processing objects.
5. If the engraving area exceeds the materialʼs surface, select all elements in the array and resize them. Continue adjusting until the preview fits properly within your material area.
6. Once the preview is confirmed, remove the preview helper. Then click “Start (F2)ˮ to start the engraving process.
7. After the engraving is complete, remove the material and check the results.
a. Choose the result that best meets your expectations.
