After selecting a supported processing mode, switch the setting within XCS to Electrostatic Mat.

C. Calibrate your Electrostatic Mat before processing

  • First-Time Calibration: When the electrostatic mat is connected to XCS for the first time, a pop-up window will prompt you for calibration. Click Start to begin the calibration process.

  • Follow the On-Screen Instructions: Click Got It and then carefully read the instructions.

     
  • Prepare Calibration Items: Ready all items listed on the window and click Next.

  • Paper Placement: Place A4 paper as instructed on the electrostatic mat. Activate electrostatic adsorption and click Process after confirmation.

  • Identify Lightest Line: In the processed area of the A4 paper, find the lightest line. Enter the row and column numbers of the lightest line in the appropriate fields and click Next.

  • 🎉 Congrats: Calibration is complete.

📌 Note: To manually initiate calibration, navigate to Device Setting > Calibration > Electrostatic Mat and click Start Up.
     

D. Place the material

  • Place the material to be processed on the electrostatic protection sheet.

⚠️ Important: For an uneven surface, flatten the material with your hands. If the edges are warped, use stickers to secure them after flattening.

Material Compatibility: If most areas of the material cannot be adsorbed by the electrostatic mat, the electrostatic mat may not be suitable for securing that material.

  • Activate Adsorption: Click the button on the electrostatic mat to secure the material. The button will light up green when powered on.

📌 Note: Ensure that the M1 Ultra is powered on.
Auto Control: When [Auto control] in [Device settings] > [Accessories info] is enabled, electrostatic adsorption will be automatically disabled after processing.
