10, The origin position defaults to the lower left corner, which you can change at any time.
11, Click finish to complete device addition
12, File- open, to open the LightBurn file you've built; File-Import to import the Other formats files such as .jpg .bmp .dxf(Here we import a vector image in dxf format)
13, You must ensure that the image does not exceed the grid area, otherwise the limit will be triggered and processing will stop
14, Referring to No.7(how to use and self check.pdf), we use the current position
15, Double-click the layer in 1, and then in the dialog box on the left 2, set the engraving/cutting parameters, here we take the 10W laser as an example, set the cutting parameters (cutting is only suitable for vectorial drawings), the speed of 200mm/min, the power of 100%, pass for 1 time
16, Refer to Step3 to set the Red Cross Offset.
