Queenie: Epilog Laser Setup
Setting up Queenie: The Epilog Zing Laser
Open the Lid of the Laser
Place Your Material
Place your material inside. If the material is showing signs of ANY warping. Place the material in a central location with honeycomb (the bed of the laser) visible on either side.
In the image, there is a piece of 12x12 1/8 in birch plywood
Honeycomb Tabs
If your piece needs to be flattened due to warping, locate the honeycomb clips next to the laser
Secure Your Material to the Honeycomb
Using the clips secure your piece to the honeycomb. Slide the clip into a hole at a diagonal. Twist the clip until it is perpendicular to the top of the laser and locking the piece in place. Call staff if you need assistance.
If your material IS NOT warped skip this step, and instead, place the material in the topmost left corner.

Focusing the Laser
Pull the focus arm down with your finger. Notice in the image the focus arm is out of focus and is too far from the material.
