does the PPI setting influence the engraving when rastering ? I understood that the PPI setting only matters when cutting vectors.

On ULS machines, definitely... on others, usually not (though yours may be an exception).

I don't know your machines driver but PPI relates to pulse spacing; i.e. how close the pulses are spaced apart from each other OR how much the pulses overlap each other.

For engraving PPI would relate to the pulse spacing in X-axis. In most cases, for best results space the pulses equally for X and Y axis
