Raster Type
Basic
This is the default setting and is by far the most commonly used setting for raster
engraving. This setting is used to raster engrave clipart, photographs, text and the
vast majority of images that people associate with laser engraving. Below is a

system.
In Basic raster engraving mode the laser fires whenever there is a dot. Every time
the laser is fired in Basic raster engraving mode, the laser output power is
always the same.
