    I know for a fact that this does work with AutoLaser and my RedSail. The multiple colors in an image do not always export in the order that I would prefer and I have run some jobs accidentally where...

    My RedSail X700 will engrave and cut in any order. The AutoLaser software lets you provide different cut and carve (raster engrave) settings to 256 different colors and run those colors in any order...

    Setting the machine to home the U-Axis at start up sounds like a horrible idea to me. If my honeycomb table is in the machine it is going to crash into the cone the next time I turn on the machine.

    The U Axis is used for raising and lowering the table. The Z Axis is not used. I believe the controller manual describes the Z Axis as being used for material feeding.

    Jordan,

    See if this menu sequence homes your table.
    Menu
    Integrate
    Back Set
    Manual Back
    4-U Axis

    On my X700, this raises the table until it hits the limit switch.

    You could try vectoring several concentric circles instead of rastering. You'd figure the size difference of the circles similar to your raster resolution so it leaves no unlasered areas between...

    Be sure you left your U Direction setting in the correct position. If the table starts going down when you try this turn off the power and fix the setting then try again. There is no limit switch at...

    Make sure the table is clear, especially under the cone. Press the decimal point key on the keypad. It will ask you to confirm (I forget what it says exactly and I'm not at home right now). When you...

    I agree that this is the likely problem. My Redsail X700 needs 220 volts and came with an external transformer to plug into a 120 volt outlet.

    Are you focusing to the same distance from the tape as you are from the actual work piece? If the lens isn't the same difference from the two surfaces you can see an offset if your beam is not...

    What happens if you try bisectional raster? Do both raster directions lineup with each other or is there more offset?

    Have you tried adjusting the idle speed? I know this is in the cut parameters section, but it looks like that is the speed for moving between cuts when the laser is not firing. That is basically the...

    Machines get confused when their settings are changed to invalid values. This should not happen spontaneously, but settings are occasionally changed unintentionally.

    Where are you seeing axis limiters that light up? I'm not familiar with what you're describing.

    Did you say the machine is trying to reset to the top left corner now instead of the top right? It...

    I haven't used Laser Cut, but I think what you want is the Carve Accuracy in the Carve settings. This specifies how far the head moves between scan lines. Default is .05mm, giving 508 lines per inch.

    If you received a tool to turn the front right screw to raise and lower the table, then you probably don't have a motorized table. If pressing the U+ and U- keys (3 and 4) raise and lower it, then...

    This is the way I work with my RedSail as well. There are no rulers along the edge to align a piece to, so I just put the piece wherever I want it, move the lens with the arrows, and then hit...

    After looking at the documentation, it looks like you need to go into the Integrate menu, and then choose Back Set, and then Init Back.

    The X and Y Axes here should be set to Open and the others...

    There are some settings in the control panel which determine which axes are brought to their home positions when the machine is reset. Maybe these got changed somehow.

    I'm not at home right now so...

    What happens if you try to cut a 1200x800 rectangle? Does it hit the limit switch? If not measure the cut piece. Is it 1200x800?

    If it is then the cutting is fine but your limit switch needs to...
