Setting up interrupt recovery
First of all I would recommend turning on the interrupt recovery feature, when this is turned on you will not be able to move the module by hand. The machine will memorize any movement of the motor to make sure the engraving is normal.
In addition, when the work is interrupted abnormally, we don't move the machine and the material, and we can resume the engraving work through the screen prompts.
