I just updated to version 2.2 and tried to engrave from a file I’ve used before with my XTool S1. When I start the engraving the laser doesn’t fire and I get multiple errors 1. I get a pop up that says ALARM:cancel Device reported an error. I hit stop to clear the pop up. in the Console the script says xTool: user start script line 1 dropped - not g-code this machine can run: $L

Any assistance would be appreciated.

This happens to me as well.

In addition to this issue:

When I start a job, the air assist no longer activates.

When I select a saved laser position, the laser head only moves along the X and Y coordinates; the Z-axis position remains unchanged.

xTool S1 20W

Thank you.

Think I found a fix for the $L error. See my Topic XTool s1 Error with 2.2, Will try this out and see if it works.
