If you previously disconnected the control computer, reconnect it via the USB cable now.
If your computer is already connected and EZCad is already running, restart it now to establish
a connection between the computer and the laser's control board.
2. Double click EzCad2.exe in the "Software" folder in the USB drive to start the software.
3. Load or create a design in EZCad as follows.
For detailed parameter descriptions and settings, see the EZCad software manual in the USB
drive.
Setting Engraving Parameters
Customize your contrast and engraving depth by adjusting the engraving parameters in EZCad.
• To darken an image, use a higher frequency setting. To lighten it, use a lower one.
• To increase engraving depth, increase the amount of energy per unit area by reducing the
speed parameter or increasing the laser's power or the number of loops.
Marking Settings
• Red(F1): Marks the frame of the object to be marked, with no laser emitted during the process.
It is used to indicate the processing area and facilitate locating the workpiece.
This function is available on models with a red light guider. Pressing F1 on the keyboard to
activates this function.
• Mark(F2): Starts processing. Press F2 on the keyboard to run this command.
For other marking settings, see the EZCad software manual.
The test material should be of the same material as the actual one you are going to mark.
• DO NOT stare at the laser in operation even with protective eyewear.
• When an unexpected situation occurs, press the emergency stop button immediately to halt the
machine's operation.
• Watch for possible issues like sparks or fires, however, and be prepared to quickly extinguish
a fire if necessary.
Testing the Engraving Effect
1. Activate the laser guidance system by clicking Red in EZCad or hitting F1 on the keyboard.
The design should be displayed in red light on the worktable, showing where the laser will fire.
2. Place an expendable piece of the material to be engraved in the location shown by the laser
guidance, the test material should be of the same material as the actual one you are going to mark.
