Once a file has been selected, it can be placed in
the work area on the work piece. Use the arrows
to scale and rotate the graphic.
Click on „Laser“ in the upper left corner to ac-
cess the laser settings.
3. Material settings
Select the inserted material. Depending on the

selected.
4. Parameter assignment
Depending on the material used, additional
settings can be made. If dierent colours were
used in the selected file, dierent parameters
can be assigned to them. By dragging into the

By clicking on „Start“ the order will be transmit-
ted to your Mr Beam II.
5. Additional settings
The „Laser Intensity Range“ describes the range
of the gray levels displayed in an engraving;
„Engraving Speed Range“ describes the speed
at which gray values are engraved.
When cutting materials, „Laser Intensity“ dis-
plays the performance, „Laser Speed“ the speed
as well as „passes“ how often the contour is cut.
Further explanations can be found under the
menu item „show explanations“.
MR BEAM II SOFTWARE

It is needed to focus the laserhead to achieve the best result
with your Mr Beam II.
Because the laser light conically leaves the laser head, there
is one point at which it is focused maximally, the focus
point. At this point, your Mr Beam II has the maximum
performance and highest precision. Therefore, the focus
point should be positioned exatly on the material and must be
manually adjusted to the material height.
For this adjustment, the distance between the bottom edge
of the laser head and the top edge of the material must be
10mm. Use the Mr Beam Focus Tool for it.
Step 3:
Place the focus tool on the material and the
cross under the laser head.
Step 2:
Open the screw on the left side of the laser head
to move it up and down.
