Before processing with xTool X1, please complete the initial calibration first. The whole process of initial calibration varies based on the kit that you bought:

The following instructions take the "main unit + 20W diode galvo module + galvo source" kit as an example.

Prepare before calibration

Before calibration, ensure that you've connected xTool X1 with xTool software.

Step 1: Watch the introduction video

Step 2: Install all laser modules and click "All installed"

• The 55W CO2 laser module is pre-installed.
• If you've bought the 20W diode galvo module, install it according to xTool X1 20W Diode Galvo Module User Guide.
• If you've bought the galvo source, install it according to xTool X1 Galvo Source User Guide.

Step 3: Confirm the light source according to the laser modules you've installed and click "Confirm"

Step 4: Confirm whether the field lens installed is correct and click "installed"

Step 5: Prepare accessories for calibration and click "Done"

Accessories mentioned are included in the package of xTool X1.

Step 6: Click "Preparation done, start calibration"

Step 7: Clear the baseplate of xTool X1 and click "Cleared"

Step 8: Close the lid of xTool X1 and click "Closed"

Step 9: Click "Next"

Start basic calibration

The three calibration tasks in this category are performed automatically and take about 5 minutes.

Step 1: Start vibration suppression calibration

Step 2: Start dot laser full-range calibration

Step 3: Start baseplate leveling

Step 4: Click Next to proceed to the next calibration task

Align CO2 optical path

Step 1: Watch the introduction video

Step 2: Prepare the masking tape and click "Done" and "Next"

Step 3: Adjust the mirror

1. Click Move to make the laser module travel to a proper position your can work with.

2. Open the lid of xTool X1.
3. Follow the video instructions to apply masking tape to the 55W CO2 laser module properly and click Applied.

4. Close the lid of xTool X1.
5. Click Done to fire the laser.

6. Open the lid of xTool X1 to check the burn mark.
7. Check the burn mark on the tape.
8. 1. If the burn mark is at the center of the round hole, click Centered.
   2. If the burn mark isn't at the center of the round hole, click Not centered.

8. (Only when the burn mark is not centered)
9. 1. Slightly turn the knobs on the right side of the device to adjust the light path.
   2. Remove the previous tape and apply a new one.
   3. Close the lid and fire the laser again.
   4. Open the lid to check if the burn mark is centered.
   5. 1. If yes, click Centered and move on to the next step.
      2. If not, repeat these four steps until the burn mark is centered.

9. Remove the masking tape covering the round hole and click Masking tape removed in xTool software. Then, click Next.
