  If the mark is missing or appears light, several factors could be the cause. * Check that the laser is in focus by verifying the alignment of the red laser beams on the part. * Ensure the marking surface is flat and parallel to the lens face. * Inspect the lens for any dirt, oil, or debris; if needed, clean it using a soft cloth and a solution of 10% alcohol and 90% water. * Review your laser parameters and consult the marking manual included on the USB drive.
