Open LaserWORKS with a new/blank file. To process the test files correctly in the order
of the layers assigned to a given path, the Cut optimize settings will need to be
configured. Figure 1 shows on how to access that menu by clicking on Handle(W)
located on the top toolbar, then selecting Cut optimize.
Here, Figure 2 illustrates on which options should
be selected. The only options that need to be check
so that the following test files can run properly is
Order of layer and Auto determine start point and
direction. Upon finishing this exercise, you may
change back to any settings you had prior to this
setup.
Before proceeding through this exercise, make sure you have the latest version of
LaserWORKS (8.01.07 & up)*. To prolong the life of the laser tube, we do NOT recommend
going over 85% power over long periods. Doing so will reduce the life of your laser tube and its
performance.

*This section must be completed before running the test files*

Engraving Test File
Figure 3. Engraving test file with different power settings @ 300 mm/s.
Now go to File(F) > Open... and locate the file "Engraving Test File." Select and open the
file to see a pre-made template with different layers associated with it's own power
setting, as illustrated in Figure 3. There's no need to change any of the layers and settings
since they are already configured correctly. If the image is larger than your sample material
that you'll be testing on, you can resize the image (as a whole) to properly fit your
material.
Finally, download the file to your machine by either using the Download button (using the
Blue USB Cable) or the SavetoUFile button (using a USB Flash Drive). Make sure you
autofocus (or focus with the focal guide if the autofocus feature is not available to you) the
material and FRAME the image before running the file. For best practice, framing before
running the file will help you align your image onto your material accurately and effectively.
