4.5   First Engraving Tests 

 

The following steps describe, how to successfully engrave a first pattern. Please follow the 
individual steps: 
 
1. 

First switch on the computer, then the Laser.  

 

 

 
 
 
2. 

Put the object to be engraved into the laser and move into the desired position on the 
engraving table. Usually the object is positioned in the upper left-hand corner. Use the 
rulers to determine the dimensions of the object to be engraved. 

 
3. 

With the positioning keys the lens is positioned over the material to be engraved. You 
focus with the help of the focus tool or by auto focus (see page 38 ongoing).
