NEWBE Engrave beyond size!

[wtlowery]

I am a newbe to the laser world. I am working with version 5.85. My current project is making a "stamp", converting a line drawing to bmp and then reversing the image and engrave the background away. I am getting an error message "ENGRAVE BEYOND SIZE!" Help, what does this mean. Thanks in advance, Bill

hi bill
just move your graphic more away from the edges or lower the speed

I just noticed this post. Sorry for the late reply.
You need to set your acceleration to about 30,000 for the axis you are having problems with. It is most probably set to about 10,000.
The software needs some space to move into to be able to get up to speed before it starts engraving so setting this will allow some more leeway.
If you set your engraving speed lower then it will probably engrave ok but when you set it higher it needs the room.
Hope this gets you back on track.
