This fibre laser marker is controlled by the included EZCad software, which must be installed on a compatible
computer to direct the laser. See its separate manual for full details on its components and use. Some features
which are particularly important to note include the following parameters and controls:
• Loop Count—Specifies how many times the laser beam will repeat its path, creating greater contrast in the
marked image.
• Speed—Specifies the speed of the beam in millimetres per second, with greater speed creating less contrast in
the marked image.
• Power—Specifies the % of the machine's rated power that will be used, with greater power creating greater
contrast. Note again that running the machine at greater than 80% power will shorten its service life and
10–75% is recommended for most applications.
• Frequency—Specifies the laser's frequency in kilohertz (kHz), with higher frequency producing a denser laser
mark and darker engraving.
• Red (F1)—Tells the laser guidance to illuminate the current laser path.
• Mark (F2)—Fires the laser beam for testing and focus improvement.
