¶ 2. Connection
Refer to the connection tutorial video or user manual for operation.
Note:
- When using LightBurn or LaserGRBL, the baud rate in the software must be set to 115200. The correct COM port number can be found in Device Manager, typically named "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM*)", where "*" represents the COM port number.

Note:
- The currently recommended camera capture area is 400×400 mm, which does not fully cover the working area of the A70 series. If you choose to use the camera with the A70 series, it can only capture a 400×400 mm region. When using the camera, make sure to start from Absolute Coordinates. PRO model working area: 500×400 mm. MAX model working area: 850×800 mm.
¶ 5. Auto Focus and Manual Focus
Refer to the A70 series auto focus tutorial video or the machine user manual for detailed instructions.

Note:
- It is recommended to use auto focus, or manually adjust the focus using a focusing piece. For engraving, set the distance to 20 mm. For cutting materials less than 20 mm thick, set the distance to 15 mm. For materials thicker than 20 mm, the minimum focus distance is 8 mm. In LightBurn and LaserGRBL, the focus command is: [ESP500].

¶ 6. Origin Setting and Positioning Method
Refer to the origin setting tutorial video and the positioning tutorial video for detailed instructions.

Note:
- When setting the origin, you must first click "Home" to return the machine to the zero coordinate position. Do not manually move the laser head after homing — all movements must be done through the software. Manually moving the laser head will cause coordinate errors. If this occurs, you must re-home the machine before setting the origin again. When using crosshair positioning, the center of the crosshair indicates the initial position of the laser beam. If there is any deviation, please refer to the crosshair calibration video.
¶ 7. Brief Introduction to the Software Coordinate System
- Current Position: The engraving starts from the laser's current location. You can freely move the laser head by hand to the desired starting point.
- User Origin: The user manually sets the starting position for the laser job. Refer to the Origin Setting Tutorial Video.
- Absolute Coordinates: The laser starts working based on the position of the object relative to the machine's home position (0,0) after homing.
