In our case, we sized it to 8 wide to fit along the bottom edge of the board.
If your wood is knotty, avoid engraving through those areas if possible.
Position it on top of the material.
Ensure the machine parameter setting tab is set to the correct laser jot down.
We set the word simple to engrave and the other words set to score.
The engrave will fill in the lettering whereas the score function will outline the letters.
Adjust the laser function to open plane and then tap on auto-measure.
You will likely find the error alert regarding the distance from the base plate.
Turn on air assist and hit process and remove when engraving is complete.
