Tab 1: Import (1) your PDF (2)
If “Error” appears check Troubleshoot
Tab 2: Delete the white area around your drawing (1) or skip with “create job”
Tab 3: The position of the laser (1) should be visible and can be used to position your file. Choose the material from the drop down menu (2). Check how long the job will take with the clock button (3). Then continue with “push to laser” (4).
Tab 4: Check the material settings and start the laser process (1).

In some cases the laser-job can be continued with the “Play” button. If this doesn’t work you’ll have to restart the machine and check your file in-depth. Often geometries with too many anchor points or very small line-segments (< 0.5mm) lead to this problem.
To solve this problem try to redraw the lines in question or repair them in your CAD software by rebuilding the curve with less control points.
