works. Unfortunately the technique differs from reflected light
(paper or your engraving) and transmitted light (your crt monitor)

i) Initially on the first few lines, the image will always look like it
hasn’t worked or is too light or too dark, but wait until you get
further because of the eye trick you need a reasonable amount of
area to judge.
j) If using a nose cone, you must not adjust the depth of the cut
while it is in the middle of the photoengrave. This will cause you
to see a change in darkness.
Troubleshooting PhotoEngrave
Problem: My image is solid black.
Solution: Check that your PCX file is 256 colors or less. If
your PCX file is too high a resolution for your cutter width, reduce
the resolution or decrease the PCX file size.
Problem: The image is very clear but it is too light.
Solution: Increase the PCX file pixel resolution or use a
wider cutter.
5) PhotoEngrave PCX (dots): This file type is created in almost any
Windows graphics package. It takes a picture file and will engrave it as
groups of dots. The file extension is .PCX. Use the same guidelines as
above for this feature.
6) AutoCAD DXF file: This file type is created in the AutoCAD program.
The file extension is .DXF.
7) BMP Raster (Laser): This file type is used only for outputting to a laser
engraver. At this time, this function is not completed and does not work
properly. The file extension is .bmp.
