COMGO Z1 Laser Engraver supports the most popular engraving software LaserGRBL.

LaserGRBL is an open source, easy to use and powerful software, but LaserGRBL only sup-ports Windows (Win XP/Win 7/

Win 8/XP/ Win 10).

Obtain and install LightBurn

The COMGO Z1 Laser Engraver receives mobile commands from the computer in real time, and the engraver needs to stay

connected to the computer and cannot close the engraving software (LaserGRBL or LightBurn) during the engraving pro-

cess. In addition, the conﬁgura-tion of the computer can affect the speed and even the quality of the engraving. The

following will focus on the installation and use of LaserGRBL software.

Note: It is recommended that you adjust your computer's power settings to "Never Sleep" mode.

Import images

1. Open File and add the image to be engraved Adjust the brightness and contrast of the

picture according to the set mode; (if you

wanna use the cut mode, please select

vector image and no ﬁll)

Set up conversion tools (e.g. grayscale

mode, dot matrix mode, vector graphics,

etc.)

The higher the quality of the picture, the

better the engraving effect will be；

2. Set engraving parameters

(please see the next page

for details)

Setting parameters 1

1. Please carefully set the engraving parameters

LaserGRBL can adjust the brightness, contrast, and other attributes

of the target image. When the parameters are adjusted, you can

see the actual effect in the preview window on the right and can

try to adjust it to what you think is satisfactory.

The engraving mode is usually selected as "progressive tracking"

and "1bit jitter". 1-bit jitter is more suitable for engraving grayscale

images. If you want to cut, please select vector or centerline

engraving mode and choose no ﬁll.

Engraving quality essentially refers to the line width of the laser

scan. This parameter depends primarily on the size of the laser

spot of the engraver. The Z1 engraver applies a square spot of

.08mm. Therefore, the recommended engraving quality range is

8-20 (commonly 12).

At the bottom of the preview window, you can also rotate, mirror,

and cut the image.

After completing the above settings, click next to enter the

engraving speed, engraving energy, engraving speed to set the

size of the engraving

4 5

Setting parameters 2

2. After completing the previous step of setting, then select the

carving speed, carving power, and the carving size (The carving

power can be set according to the recommended parameters)

Tip: Please make sure the size

of the graphics you need to engrave

and cut does not exceed 400*400

1：The engraving speed is recommended to use 100-5000.

This is the best value engraving after our repeated experi-

ments. Different materials correspond to different engrav-

ing speeds; Of course, you can increase or decrease this

speed preference according to your needs. A faster speed

will save engraving time, but a slower speed may bring

about the opposite effect of reduced engraving results.

2：In the laser mode selection, there are two commands

M3 and M4 for laser on. It is recommended to use the case

where the M4 command is recommended for engraving in

1bit jitter mode, and the M3 command is recommended for

other modes. If your laser only has M3 command, please

check if the laser mode conﬁguration is turned on in GRBL.

For the description of GRBL conﬁguration, please refer to the

ofﬁcial description of LaserGRBL.

3:The choice of engraving energy depends on the different

materials. We have attached the common material

parameters at the end of the engraving and cutting

manual for reference; you can also select our product

model as shown in Figure 3, choose engraving or cutting,

and in selecting the material, the system will provide us

with the default parameters.

4: Finally set the size to be engraved, click the "Create"

button to complete all the settings of the engraving

parameters
