If you’re looking for the Fire button, it only appears for diode lasers, per this discussion:

Trying to learn how to cut using registration marks

i am trying to setup my operating system in lightburn to cut using registration marks and the problem i am having is it says to got to settings and enable laser fire button , well i do not have that option under settings so what do i do ?

If you’re looking for something else, tell us a bit more about what you’re doing …

@nibor699

can’t find how to enable it

Draw something simple, like a square, on a layer set to a plausible speed & power level, then send it to the laser. What happens?

If “nothing” happens, then upload thate *lbrn2 file so we can verify the settings.

Did you turn the power up on the console?

[nibor699 (Rob)]

Yes.I have solved the problem it was the software my Computor didn’t like LightBurn. $188 down the drain

There are people using all the typical operating systems on all types of computers with virtually every comparable laser. If you ask for help with installation and configuration, there’s a high probability that we can get you up and running.
