Preparations
1. Connect the conveyor to xTool F1 Ultra
Follow the instructions in Install the conveyor on F1 Ultra to install and connect the conveyor.

2. Connect xTool F1 Ultra to xTool Studio
(1) Use the USB cable to connect xTool F1 Ultra to your computer.

(2) Open xTool Studio. In the top-right corner, click + New project.

(3) On the right side of the project editing page, click + Select device.

Note: If you have connected an xTool device in xTool Studio before, click
icon next to the device.
(4) On the pop-up window, click Connect Device. Then, click the name of your device.

Process a large material
1. Select the processing mode and material name
(1) On the right side of the page, click the name of the current processing mode, then select Use conveyor-large.

(2) Click Unknown Material, select the desired material, and click Apply.

Note: After you select a material from the material list, 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.
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, ensure that the materials are free from moisture or contamination, which may greatly affect the results.
2. Place the material and perform laser focusing
(1) Place the material on the right side of the conveyor, allowing the blue light spot to fall on the surface of the material.
Note: Do not use thin materials permeable to light (such as paper and cloth) on the conveyor. Laser beams falling on the belt will damage it.

(2) Hold down on the Up/Down button for laser module to lift or lower the laser module. When the red and blue light spots overlap to form a purple spot, the focus is successfully set.
Note: The blue light spot does not move. If the laser module moves up, the red light spot moves towards the left. If the laser module moves down, the red light spot moves towards the right.

Note: In Use conveyor-large mode, laser beams fall only in the middle line of the conveyor. The material is conveyed from the right to left, and therefore its part on the left of the middle line will not be processed.If you need to process the whole material, you can move the material to the right of the middle line after you finish focusing.
3. Shoot background and design processing objects
(1) On the right side of xTool Studio, click the Refresh background icon
.
xTool Studio takes a photo of xTool F1 Ultra’s processing area and inserts the photo as the canvas background. You can position processing objects based on the background.

Note: To ensure positioning accuracy, set the laser focus before shooting background.
(2) Use the tools to the left of the canvas to create objects on the canvas. You can import images, insert shapes, enter text, draw vector graphics, and so on.

Note: The gray area on the left side of the canvas is a non-processing area. Do not place objects in this area, or the objects cannot be processed.
(3) Select the objects to further edit them using the tools on the top of the canvas.

4. Set the processing parameters and processing path
(1) Select objects on the canvas. On the right side of xTool Studio, set parameters for the selected objects.

Note:
- You need to set parameters for every object. A missed object may fail to be processed.
- The conveyor supports only laser engraving on the material.
(2) In the bottom-right corner, click the icon
to set the processing path.

Evade smoke: When this feature is enabled, the device follows a path less affected by the smoke to process the material.
Note: It is recommended to enable this feature for scoring on materials such as wood and corrugated paper that produce heavy smoke. Otherwise, the heavy smoke may block the laser beams and interfere laser processing.
5. Preview the processing area
(1) Click the
icon next to the Framing button to set the framing parameters.

(2) Click
. The laser dots will move along the boundary of the processing objects on the material so that you can preview the processing area.

To stop framing, click the same button.

Note: If the processing area is not ideal, you can adjust the material position or adjust the object positions in the software.
6. Start processing
(1) In the bottom-right corner, click Process.

(2) Preview the processing pattern and path.
In the bottom-left corner, click the
button, and xTool Studio will show the processing path.

(3) Wear a pair of goggles that can shield laser beams of 455 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths.

Note:
When xTool F1 Ultra is used with a conveyor, its protective enclosure cannot be fully closed. For your safety, it is recommended that you wear goggles during processing.
Safety goggles are not included with xTool F1 Ultra or the conveyor. Please purchase them separately.
(4) Close the protective enclosure. In the bottom right corner, click Start. When the software shows Ready, press the XTOOL Start/Stop button on the touchscreen controller to start processing.
