gcode; language can be switched between Chinese and English, and restart after switching;
other menus are divided into online help, ofcial website and sub-menu.

Ｒｅｓｉｚｉｎｇ
.Original image could be bigger or smaller than the image that we want to engrave.
Resize option allows to choose the most appropriate scaling method.
Ｈｉｇｈ Ｑｕａｌｉｔｙ Ｂｉｃｕｂｉｃ
: suitable both for enlargement and reduction, produce smooth images
interpolating pixels.
Ｎｅａｒｅｓｔ Ｎｅｉｇｈｂｏｕｒ
: preserve hard edges scaling the image without smooth any pixel. Grayscale
and RGB sliders. If you open a coloured image, conversion from colour to grayscale is
needed. You can choose between a predefined colour to grayscale formula (SimpleAverage,
WeightAverage or OpticalCorrect) or select the “Custom” option and manually define the
dominance of each RGB component.
“
Ｃｕｓｔｏｍ
” is useful when importing graphic images such as clipart, and we want to control the
darkness/lightness of individual colour.
Brightness, contrast and BW threshold.With brightness and contrast you can darken or lighten
the image, as well as increase the contrast .
With BW option you can activate a threshold on the image: pixels brighter of the threshold will be
considered white, darken will become black.
All of these options affect how the various tools process the image and produce the nal result.
Since different materials behave differently when they are engraved with laser, it is essential to
play with these options to nd the best combination for the desired result.
③
With “line to line” tool you can engrave high quality images with realistic shades of grey.Note
that not all engraving materials are suited for this process: some materials does not react linearly
with laser power end they exist only as burned or not burned state making it difcult to reproduce
a grayscale. In these cases we suggest to use “dithering” tool.
④
Laser engraving direction can be chosen horizontally, longitudinally and obliquely. The bigger
the quality value is, the more points it presents and the easier it is to carbonize. Therefore,
different values can be set according to different materials. Generally, the recommended values
are 10 rows/mm and 5 rows/mm for wood materials.
⑤
Set the engraving speed and image size. The engraving speed is about 300, which can also
be adjusted according to the actual measured object. The width and height represent the actual
size of the engraving.
