Notes on Annealing: Producing an annealed mark is very dependent on the material
being out of focus. Run the laser at slow speed and full power then adjust the focus
while the machine is running until you achieve the annealed mark you need.
Notes on settings: Don’t be afraid to experiment with Speed, Power and Frequency
settings. Many materials can be marked over the entire range of settings! Start with
the recommended settings and change one variable at a time to produce a mark that
best suits your needs. Most users start with the highest speed setting listed and work
their way faster or slower.
