STEP 1 Connect the xTool P2 to XCS
(1) Use a USB cable to connect your device to your computer, and turn on your device.
Note: After connecting xTool P2 to XCS using a USB cable, you can connect in Wi-Fi or IP mode. Whichever way you choose, you need to connect it to your computer with the USB cable first. After connecting your device to XCS in Wi-Fi or IP mode, you can search for your device on XCS next time without USB connection.
STEP 2 Place the material
STEP 3 Select the processing mode and material name
Note: If you can't find your material in the list, you can click More xTool materials to search among more materials in the Material EasySet Library. If you still can't find the name of your material, you can select User-defined material.
Note: After you select a material from the material list or Material EasySet Library, the software will automatically set parameters for laser processing. The default settings apply to xTool materials. You can adjust the settings based on your needs.
Note: The recommended parameter settings can achieve the best results only when using xTool's materials. If you are using materials from third parties, it is recommended that you conduct a material test array on your own first to obtain the desired effects and parameters. Meanwhile, make sure that the materials are free from moisture or contamination, which may greatly affect the results.
STEP 4 Measure the thickness of the material
Note: When automatic measurement results in significant errors or fails entirely, please consult Manually Measure the Focal Distance for xTool P2 Series for manual measurement of the focal distance.
STEP 5 Shoot background and design a processing object
icon. You can choose to refresh background or take a close shot.
STEP 6 Edit objects and set parameters
💡 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.
