This article uses a 55W laser module as an example to show the steps of using xTool X1 with software for flat surface processing.
Note: The actual interface may vary. Refer to the interface displayed in the xTool software.
1. Connect xTool X1 to the software
Go to Operate xTool X1 with xTool Software and follow the steps. Make sure the device is connected successfully.
