 **__general rules:__**\\ **__general rules:__**\\
-1) Make sure you only use sharp cutters.\\ +1) Your pc has to have a dedicated ethernet port to hook up the engraver\\ 
-2) Make sure your cutters have been sharpened using the correct grinding angles for the material you have to engrave.\\ +2) You have to use the supplied CAT 6A ethernet cable.  If you need a longer one, it still has to be a CAT 6A ethernet cable\\ 
-3) Always try not to engrave deeper than necessary.  For plastics this means just deep enough to get through the top layer.\\ +3) The ethernet port in your pc has to be configured with the following fixed IP-address: 172.22.2.101, netmask 255.255.255.0\\
-4) If you have to colour fill engravings, e.g. in aluminium, the engraving depth needs to be be 0.3 mm.\\+
  
 Check the following:\\ Check the following:\\
 \\ \\
-1. Is your cutter sharp and adapted for the kind of material you want to engrave ?\\\ +1. Has your PC been switched on and has the X-300 engraver been switched on?\\ 
-2. Are the XYZ feed speeds and the spindle RPM adapted for your material ?\\ +2. Check if the ethernet settings of your pc are still ok (see IP-address hereabove).\\ 
-3. Is the cutter width adapted to the character height in combination with the used font ? For most single line fonts you need a cutter width about 1/8 to 1/10 of the character height.\\ +3. Is your virtual pendent software running?\\ 
-4. When engraving aluminium or stainless, did you not forget to switch on the "bidirectional" {{:en:x300:bidirectional-green-green.png?40|}} function ?\\ +4. Has the pendent software been registered?\\ 
-5. Is your cutter knob still in good shape? A worn out cutter knob could cause the cutter to vibrate.\\ +5. If these conditions are fulfilled you need to check the connection by pinging to the machine. From the cmd window on your pc type "ping 172.22.2.100".  If the results are not OK then you might have a defective ethernet port in your pc, or a defective ethernet cable.\\ 
-6. If your engraving depth is not equally deep everywhere, you need to check if the floating function is working correctly.\\ +
-7. If the floating function works fine, please check the status of the nosecone.\\ +
-8. If the engravings show different depts, or if you see shadows near the engraved characters, you may be engraving without vacuum cleaner.  A vacuum cleaner is a must!\\+
