Note: You can also send processing files to xTool F2 Ultra through online transfer and follow the instructions in Process on Flat Surface with XCS on the Computer to process a material. When the processing is finished, click Back up file to device in the Complete page.

2. Place the material and perform laser focusing

Note: xTool F2 Ultra supports only manual focus for offline processing.

(1) Lift the protective enclosure and place the material on the baseplate, allowing the blue light spot to fall on the surface of the material.

Note:

- To cut a material, you are advised to place the slatted panel under the material, so as to reduce the burned area on the back of the material and protect the baseplate.

- If the material is too light, you are advised to use tools such as tape to fix the material. Otherwise, the airflow of the exhaust fan may cause the material to move during processing.

(2) Hold down on the Up/Down button for laser module to lift or lower the laser module until the red and blue light spots overlap, which indicates that the focus is successfully set.

Note: The blue light spot does not move. When the laser module moves up, the red light spot moves towards the left; when the laser module moves down, the red light spot moves towards the right.

(2) Press the Framing button in the touchscreen. The laser dots will move along the boundary of the processing objects on the material, allowing you to preview the processing area.
