Run the vector portion only (red lines) with the lid open and red dot pointer on to ensure your artwork is in the right place. When you're done, insert the iPad Air into the upper left corner of the machine. For best results, select the Bottom-Up engraving option and Stucki dithering pattern. Engraving from the bottom up helps ensure any engrave debris/residue is pulled up and out of the machine and not settling back in over engraved areas.
