The focus distance is where the laser beam is at its sharpest point. Many users let
the focus gauge swing back and forth while raising the table. As the table moves
up and gets close to the correct focus distance the spring will just touch your
material and stop swinging. This little trick of swinging the gauge back and forth
will allow you to quickly and easily set the proper focus distance every time!
Focus Anywhere on the Table: If you wish to focus at any point on the table you
can do so by disabling the axes and moving the carriage by hand to the location
where you would like to focus. To do this, use the following key sequence:
Press the X/Y Off key. This disables the X and Y axes and you can now move the
carriage by hand to any point on the table. Press the Up or Down cursor keys on
the keyboard to move the table up or down to set the proper focus height. After
you are in correct focus, press the Reset key to exit focus mode.
Hint: When using this method it is often convenient to turn on the red dot pointer
to help you see where the carriage is moving.
Be careful to avoid touching the optics when you are moving the carriage by
hand!
