The Focus Tool Method

Place you material onto the engraving table. Visually make sure that the height of the material will not interfere with the focus carriage when you move it over the material to set focus. Press the “Z” button and observe the focus carriage move to the (1”,1”) position in the engraving area. If this is not a good focus position for you, use the motion system directional arrow buttons to position the focus carriage directly over your material. Use the up or down arrow buttons to move the table so that the flat side of the tool can sit flat up against the side of the focus carriage. Slowly raise the table until you observe the tool either tilting or sliding away from the focus carriage. This will occur when the bottom edge of the focus carriage meets with the top of the beveled edge of the focus tool. The objective is to stop the table at the point where the tool just starts to move or tilt.
