- The fire button allows you to Fire your laser at low power. The button turns it on, and the power field is the power it will turn on at. This is often helpful for framing.

Those values are for jogging your laser. Distance is the distance your laser will jog each time you click an arrow (left/right/up/down). Speed is how fast it will jog. You can ignore Z speed- your laser does not have a movable Z axis.

The square frame will trace a path that is the smallest possible rectangle that will fit around your graphics, while the round frame will trace a path that is the shape of a “rubber band” around your grapihcs.
- The speeds and powers in the Cut/Layer window are the speeds your job will run at, and the power level your laser will output at. These do not have to be the same as the settings in your Move window, where speed is for jogging, and power is for the Fire button only.
For the issues you’re seeing with inconsistent burns- double check that your laser is properly focused, and make sure the wiring to your diode is secure. It’s also possible your power supply is not providing enough power- make sure it’s securely plugged in, and adequate for your laser.
