8. Silent Mode: Turns off the device's notification sounds, keypad tones, and alarm sounds. After turning it off, a relevant icon will appear in the upper right corner of the "Workspace".
9. System: Click to switch to "System", where you can adjust functions such as lid opening stop, exhaust fan, flame detection, firmware version, export logs, restore to factory settings, and privacy policy.
10. Stop on cover open: Enabled by default, when the protective cover (lid) is opened during processing, the laser operation automatically stops.
- If you need to open the cover to preview the effect during border processing or the machining process: this function needs to be turned off.
- Please note the risk of laser burns, and you must wear protective glasses to avoid laser glare.
11. Fan: Controls the operating mode of the smoke exhaust fan to promptly expel the fumes generated during processing.
- Normally Open: The exhaust fan runs continuously (suitable for poorly ventilated environments)
- Intelligent: Automatically turns on only during processing, and turns off with a delay after processing is completed (more energy-efficient), with the ability to set the delay time for turning off.
12. Flame Detection: Enabled by default, monitors whether there is an open flame in the processing area, and triggers an alarm and shuts down immediately upon detection.
- It is not recommended to turn off.
