I just recently purchased the 7 Watt JTech laser and am having issues with getting my design to engrave the same amount throughout. It seems to burn more on the far left and right than in the middle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What controller do you have?
Did you turn on āoverscanā?

Google will help with that one
LightBurn Software Questions
If you want to engrave you have the option to use āoverscanningā. Frankly I donāt know what it is and therefore donāt know when to use it. So the obvious question is; what is overscanning and when to use it? Thanks in advance!

# Laser Operations
The basic operations of any device can be categorized in one of two ways: Cut and Scan. These two options combined with variations in power and speed can achieve a variety of results.
Settings will vary from machine to machine and acrosss different materials. It is recommended to test your settings on a scrap piece of the same material as your final work piece before your final run.
Please Note: Cut speeds have been limited to 2000mm/s (or equivelant) This will prevent issues of entering too high of a speed which we are sure your machine will not like.
To the right of the cut window you will see 4 arrows. The up and down arrows allow you to change the order of the highlighted cut or scan layer, and the right and left arrows allow you to copy cut or scan settings into the cache, and write those cached settings into a cut or scan layer. Useful for copying settings from one layer to another.
