LaserGRBL is an open source, easy to use and powerful software, but LaserGRBL only sup-ports Windows (Win XP/Win 7/ 
Win 8/XP/ Win 10).

The COMGO Z1 Laser Engraver receives mobile commands from the computer in real time, and the engraver needs to stay 
connected to the computer and cannot close the engraving software (LaserGRBL or LightBurn) during the engraving pro-

cess. In addition, the configura-tion of the computer can affect the speed and even the quality of the engraving. The

following will focus on the installation and use of LaserGRBL software.
