hk/ download the software


install the USB driver after download the software
Open the bitmap of image engrave.
Download the data gram from http://m50.hjk.hk/ and refer to the video to use the software. Do not
use the software in the video that is belong to other machine.
Objects of different thickness need to be focused again.
Find a box and cut a piece of paper board to practice. Put the paper board under the laser head.
Click the on the software, the laser head will emit weak light. Wearing the glasses to observe
the light point ( can paint a black point on the paper board for more easy to observe). Adjust the
focus lamp to the minimum. If the focus is far away, it wont be burn. If it is similar, the effect is
not good too. It will be the best effect when the focus is the minimum.
Contour cutting need to open gcode file by gcode cut software
gcode is the file with .cnc.nc suffix,
Convert the vector file to gcode, software can use artcam2008 ,artcam pro8.1 , inkscape,etc.
Inkscape download address: http://acanlaser.b0.upaiyun.com/inkscape.zip

Carve time:
Every pixel points laser radiation time unit is millisecond
Different power and different material need to set different time
Blue purple 500mw General parameter Intensity 255
Paper board 7-15 Cork 10-25 Hardwood 15-30
Bamboo 10-25 Dark plastic 7-15 Light color plastic 15-25
Blue 200mw General Parameter Intensity 255
Paper board 3-5 Cork 5-8 Hardwood 8-15
Bamboo 5-8 Dark plastic 3-5 Light color plastic 5-8
Blue 2.8W General Parameter Intensity 255
Paper board 2-3 Cork 3-5 Hardwood 5-8
Bamboo 3-5 Dark plastic 2-5 Light color plastic 3-5
Blue 5.5W General Parameter Intensity 255
Paper board 1-2 Cork 2-3 Hardwood 3-5
Bamboo 1-3 Dark plastic 1-3 Light color plastic 1-4

Laser Intensity:
Maximum power while laser carving, 255 is maximum0 is minimum

Scanning mode:
Common: Start from left to right, go back to left, and from left to right
Zigzag: Start from left to right, and from right to left. ( It will increase the error, need to increase
the stable delay)
Shortest path: carve according to the shortest.( The error is bigger than the zigzag)

Stable delay:
Start the laser after stable delay for a while if have vibration.
There are 2 digits behind stable delay for increase the speed. Set up the relevant parameter can
maximize the speed, respectively are accelerate time and distance.
There are also some groups: 56 3,10 71 13,1
Generally keep the default .
Inching speed is the speed of moving up down left right while positioning.
Speed is the speed of moving while carving The faster , the worse effect. It can maximize the
speed after set up, general setting is fast
Resolution ratio is the point number per inch254DPI is 10 pixel=1millimeter
The higher resolution, the finer and longer time. Generally use 339DPI
Black and white
Black is some pictures are grey. The grey can be turn blacker. Totally can click 5 times, the fifth
time is full black.
White is some pictures including the content very light and no need to carve, can be deleted.
Focusing
Generally, adjust Intensity to weak, and rotate the focusing ring of the laser head. Put the object
under the laser. Check the laser point by glasses. The finer laser focus means the better focusing.
Generally, the smallest focusing will become dark or change color.( Better check after painting
black point){ If the focus is far away, it wont be burn. If it is similar, the effect is not good too. It
will be the best effect when the focus is the minimum.}
If unfamiliar or unclear, you can adjust the Intensity to 2 to see the black point has been burnt on
the wooden board. PS: Do not stay for a long time in the same place, because the darker color,
the easier to be burnt. It will affect your judgment for the success of the focusing. Moving the
wooden board to make sure focusing well. Move the small wooden board slowly, its the best
focusing to draw the line. It will be not that exact, but can carve.
F1 is the shortcut key of starting carve
The up down left right key can move the locating point.
Move the mouse to the picture, right click to pop up left, left middle, middle menu that can
change the locating point quickly.
