Read the Laser manual for mirror and lens cleaning procedures

1. Ensure the Mirrors are clean
2. Ensure the Lens is clean
3. Ensure the Window on the Laser cartridge is clean
4. Remove any deposits from the nozzle of the air assist cone

Yon may also need to check the focus height. This can be done by using the manual focus tool as described in the VersaLaser manual.

The Versalaser CPU holds all the positions & can be reset with the guide attached.
The flat metalic bed needs to be used when setting the heights.
