The laser is moving, I see light but it is not engraving.

When I press start, the device starts working and I see the laser lights on the board. It moves but does not engrave.


  1. Make sure your focus is tack sharp
  2. Assuming your configuration is correct, you only have 2 basic controls
    2a) Speed - Try decreasing speed by 10x. Do you get a mark?
    2b) Power - 60% power should be sufficient to get a mark once you decrease speed

After getting a mark, try adjusting speed/power to fine tune the results.

If that still doesn’t work, please provide the following:

  1. full screenshot of LightBurn with Cut window showing
  2. screenshot of Edit->Device Settings
  3. run these commands in Console and return output:
$I
