#1 Why the machine can not cut through the materials?
1. Confirm if the laser head connection cable is plugged in place, you can reinsert the laser head
and the motherboard plug again.
Material parameters set please refer to the article
https://support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408827414551-Default-processing-Parameter-tabl
e-for-xTool
2. Confirm if you have refocused after changing materials, if not, please refer to the following link
https://support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408826880023-How-to-focus-the-laser-head-
3. Make sure the platform is flat, the material surface flat, If the material &platform is not flat,
please place the device on the flat table and change other materials that the surface is flat.
4. Gradually increase the number of passes, or appropriately reduce the cutting speed
#2 Why the USB connection is not successful
1. Whether the computer is installed CH340 driver, if not installed USB driver,
If not, please click the below link download and install it
https://xtool.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/4411124661911/CH341SER_MAC.ZIP
If still can not solve, please download from the below link;
https://www.mblock.cc/doc/en/faq/ch340-driver.html
2. Change another computer then try to connect again, it still can not help, do next step
3. Replace the USB cable then try again, If still can not solve it, go next step.
4. Replace the motherboard
#3 Why the WIFI connection is not successful
1. Ensure that when connected, close all wall software
2. Whether the WIFI name and password contain Chinese, Japanese and other languages; and
other special symbols; it is recommended to use only English names and numbers.
3. Whether the network is similar to the mall needs to be verified, so that it will not be connected
4. Currently does not support 5GHZ signal, only supports 2.4GHZ signal
5. Check whether the WIFI antenna is inserted in place, whether it falls off if there is reinsert the
antenna
6. Check whether the WiFi antenna is damaged, such as the damaged need to replace the WIFI
antenna
#4 Why the machine can not be powered on?
1. Confirm whether the adapter socket has power
2. Whether the adapter is the official adapter, if not then use the official adapter
3. Use a multimeter to measure the input voltage of the mainboard. if there is 12V input voltage
but the machine will not power on,then need to replace the mainboard
#5 How often should the machine be maintained?
The slide bar is made of stainless steel, apply lubricant to the slide bar regularly to prevent rusting
#6 There is a noise when the machine is working.
1. Check whether the table is level, the machine will be placed on the flat table if can not be
solved continue the next step
2. Check whether the machine screws are too tight or too loose, adjust to the appropriate
tightness, it can not be solved continue the next step
3. Check whether there is a foreign body on the slide bar, remove clean, it can not be solved
continue the next step
4. Check whether there is a gap in the contact surface
#7 X-axis / Y-axis can not move, and there is a jittering sound
1. Check whether the two ends of the motor line is inserted into place, reinsert it, if not solved go
to the next step
2. Check if the wire epidermal damaged, motor and motherboard interface whether there is pin
bending, if can not be resolved for the next step
3. Unplug the wire with a multimeter to measure the conductivity of the motherboard drive
voltage output
4. If the cable is not conductive, please replace the cable, the motherboard port no voltage
output replace the motherboard
#8 Cooling fan does not work.
1. Reinsert the cooling fan cable
2. Check whether the laser head and the motherboard connection cable is inserted into place,
shut down and reinsert it and then turn on the computer to try, it can not be solved for the next
step
3. If the laser head can move normally engraving, the fan still does not work, is the fan is bad
need to replace a new one
#9 Cooling fan makes noise when the machine is turned on.
1. Check whether there is a foreign body inside the fan, remove clean, such as can not be solved
for the next step
2. After shutdown and reinserting the fan plug, it can not be solved for the next step
3. Replace the fan
#10 Device can not read the TF card
1. Confirm whether the TF card is inserted backward
2. Check whether the TF card gold finger rust, use alcohol to clean it
3. Check whether the motherboard TF card slot is damaged
4. Replace the TF card
5. Replace the motherboard
#11 How the machine works offline?
Background: WIFI connection state, the work task is sent to the TF card, the TF to the
motherboard to send data to start working.
If offline mode, please click the machine start button to start no response, please confirm
whether the last work using the WIFI connection.
After the machine is turned on, make sure the TF card is correctly inserted into the card slot and
press the start button.
#12 How to ensure that the graphics in the material engraving/cutting stay
within the material?
Since the starting point of D1 work starts from the current laser head's IR cursor position by
default, in connection mode, after each click, it is necessary to send
If it is exceeded, you need to move the material position to cover the laser head's trajectory, click
the boundary again and observe until the laser head's trajectory is completely within the material
surface area, then click the start button.
#13 How to deal with smoke when cutting/engraving?
Try to put the machine in a ventilated environment to work, you can put a fan to blow the smoke
to the outside
#14 Why the firmware update is not successful?
If it is unsuccessful in the device power-on state, please check whether the button is set at the
other end
#15 How to adjust the tightness of the belt?
First twist the tensioner fixing screw loose (Figure 1), then adjust the belt tensioning screw (Figure
2)
The clockwise direction is to adjust the tightness, the counterclockwise direction is to adjust the
looseness
Both sides of the belt elasticity need to be consistent, the elasticity is adjusted after the tensioner
set screw twisting can be tightened.
#16 The machine has no limit switch, the laser beam will continue to move
even when it hits around the machine.
Before cutting, you need to click on the go boundary to make sure that the processed drawing
does not exceed the machine's processing area
#17 What is the function of the buttons on the main board of the machine?
The button on the left is the restart switch, when pressed the machine will restart
The button on the right is the switch to upgrade the firmware, you need to toggle the button to
the right to update the firmware successfully.
#18 Whether the laser will hurt eyes without wearing the glasses?
You do not need to wear glasses, the laser head is equipped with a protective shield, direct
viewing will not damage the eyes
#19 What is the use of infrared laser head?
The initial position of the infrared ray is the initial position of the laser processing, not directly
below the laser spot. After the processing task starts, the laser head will travel some distance to
make the spot start from the infrared position.
#20 Why does the Apple computer download or install Laserbox software
will prompt malware blocking?
1. Click OK on the security message window that appears.
2. Choose System Preferences> Security & Privacy.
3. Click to unlock the Security & Privacy preferences.
4. Enter the user password and click Unlock.
5. Click Open Anyway.
6. Click Open.
7. Keep clicking Continue.
8. Click Install.
9. Enter the user name and password, and click Install Software.
10. Wait till the installation is complete and click Close.
#21. What is the difference between a 5W machine and a 10W machine?
1. The laser head for the rectangular is 10W, and the round is 5W.
2. The laser head for distinguished by laser head labels.
#22. What is the difference between vector graphics and bitmap processing
types?
Vector Bitmap
Graphical
properties
Computer graphics with geometric
elements such as points, lines, or
polygons are expressed based on
mathematical equations
An array of pixels is used to
represent the image
Supportable file
types*.BMP, *.pcx, *.gif, *.jpg, *png, *PSD AI, Dxf
Application Cutting Engraving
Speed Quick Slow
Effectiveness Clearly and neatly edgedFormation of different shades of
patterns
