Minimum and recommended requirements for mobile phones

With the minimum configurations, all the functions of XCS can be used properly. When you import a complex image, however, XCS may fail to run smoothly.
With the recommended configurations, XCS can run more smoothly when you import and edit a complex image, the software delay may be shorter, and the performance is better.

Set up xTool P2S in XCS

(1) On the home screen, tap the device name to view the device information.

• Device name: You can tap   in the right side of the device name to change it.
• Device model: Displays the model of the device.
• Laser model: Displays the model of the laser module.
• User guide: You can tap to view the user guide for the device.
• Laser safety classification: Displays the laser safety classification of your device.
• Serial number: Displays the serial number of your device.
• Plug-in version: Displays the plug-in version of your device. You can tap Info to view details of it.
• Firmware version: Displays the firmware version of your device. You can tap Check for updates to check whether a new version is available and update the firmware.
• Wi-Fi setting: Connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.

(2) At the bottom of the Device Details page, tap Woking info to view the working information of your device.

• Working time: Displays the total time the device processes materials.
• Operating times: Displays the total number of times the device has been operated.
• Standby time: Displays the total time the device is on standby.

(3) At the bottom of the Device Details page, tap Device settings to set up the device for work.

• Baseplate detection: Enables or disables baseplate detection in processing preview. It is enabled by default. When it is disabled, no baseplate detection is performed in all the processing modes.
• Background brightness increase: Increases the brightness of the background. When processing a dark-color or black material, enable this function to help you see the material more clearly. When processing a light-color or highly-reflective material, disable this function, or the background may be over-exposed.
• Buzzer: Enables or disables the buzzer of the machine. After being disabled, the buzzer no longer works as an indicator.
• Fill light brightness: Sets the brightness of the fill light when the lid is opened. Setting range: 1-100

• Exhaust fan: Enables or disables the built-in exhaust fan of your device.
  • Exhaust time after processing: sets the time the exhaust fan continues to work after the processing is complete.

• Flame sensing sensitivity: Sets the sensitivity of the fire safety set, either low or high.
• Flam alarm: If a flame is detected, the device pauses processing and raises the alarm.
• Airflow of air pump-Engrave: Displays the airflow for engraving. You can set it based on your actual needs. A lower airflow is recommended. Setting range: 10–100
• Airflow of air pump-Cut: Displays the airflow for cutting. You can set it based on your actual needs. A higher airflow is recommended. Setting range: 10–100
• Lowest output power-Engrave/Lowest output power-Cut: Sets the lowest power input of the machine to ensure the optical output of the laser module. Theoretically, when the laser module produces laser beams properly, the output power is the same as the power input. As time goes by, however, the output power may be slightly lower than the power input. If your machine works properly, you don't need to set this parameter.

Process a material in XCS

1. Place a material and create a new project

(1) Place the material to be processed on the baseplate.

(2) On the bottom of the home screen, tap the icon , and then + New project.

2. Select the processing mode and material name

(1) In the bottom-right corner of the project editing page, tap Setting.

(2) Select a processing mode. Here we take Process on slats as an example.

(3) Select the name of your material on the xTool or Customized tab, and tap Confirm. 

(4) If you select User-defined material, tap the icon to measure the thickness of the material.

3. Design processing objects

 Use tools on the bottom to design processing objects on the material.

💡 Note: You can import images, insert shapes, enter text, draw vector graphics, and so on. For more information on how to use XCS to design objects, see Software Learning Center.

4. Edit objects and set parameters

(1) Select objects on the canvas and set parameters for them. Select the processing type.

(2) Tap EasySet panel on the bottom. You can set more parameters for the objects.

(3) You can edit the objects further by using the other functions in the Design panel.

💡 Note: You need to set parameters for every object. A missed object may fail to be processed. The parameters that can be set for bitmap objects and vector objects are different. You can select multiple objects of the same type and set parameters for them at once.

5. Start processing

(1) After setting the processing parameters,  tap Process to enter the preview page.

(2) Tap Start to start the processing.

(3) Read the safety instructions carefully and tap OK.

(4) Press the button on your device and wait until the processing is complete.
