6.1 Preparing for Marking

• Safety First: Always wear your laser safety goggles before starting any operation.
• Material Placement: Place the material to be marked on the work platform. Ensure it is stable and flat.
• Focusing: Use the double red dot system to achieve optimal focus. Adjust the Z-axis (height) until the two red dots converge into a single point on the material surface.
• Software Launch: Open EzCad Lite or LightBurn software on your computer.

6.2 Creating and Loading Designs

• Design Creation: Use the software's tools to create your desired text, graphics, or barcodes.
• Importing Designs: Import existing designs in supported formats (e.g., DXF, AI, JPG, PNG).
• Parameter Settings: Adjust laser parameters such as power, speed, frequency, and fill patterns according to the material and desired marking effect. Refer to the software's user guide for detailed parameter explanations.

6.3 Marking Process

• Preview (Red Light): Use the red light preview function in the software to verify the marking area and position on your material. Adjust as needed.
• Start Marking: Once satisfied with the preview, initiate the marking process through the software or by pressing the foot switch.
• Monitoring: Monitor the marking process. In case of any issues, immediately press the emergency stop button.
• Completion: After marking is complete, wait for the laser to stop completely before removing the marked item.

6.4 Using the Rotary Axis (Optional)

If you have the D80 Rotary Axis, follow these general steps for marking cylindrical objects:
