Section 3
System Operation
From the control panel menus and buttons to focusing, loading and unloading materials, this section
covers the actual laser engraving and cutting process. If you have done so already, power ON your
computer and let it boot up completely
BEFORE powering ON the laser system otherwise your laser
system can “lock up” when attempting to run the first file and the only way to clear this error is to power
the system OFF and then ON again. You do not need to turn on your exhaust system at this time.
The Control Panel
The control panel on the laser
system provides easy access to
all of the controls necessary for
cutting and engraving operations.
When the laser system has finished initializing and homing, and if all the doors are closed, the green light,
on the control panel will be illuminated and the display will indicate READY.
The RED LED and GREEN LED (Light Emitting Diode) will act differently depending on the current state
of the laser system. Please refer to the chart below.

enabled to simulate the laser process.
