STARTING UP

Connection options with Mr Beam
There are three options to connect Mr Beam to your computer or tablet. Choosing the most appropriate option depends on your personal usage preference and the network available at the location Mr Beam is set up in. In all cases you need the Google Chrome Browser. Other Browsers are not supported.
Please choose one of the following connection options and proceed with the installation in the section “Status Lights“ on the next page.

Option A: Connection via Wi-Fi
Connect your computer directly to the Wi-Fi of your Mr Beam. This is the easiest connection option. No internet access or network infrastructure is required. You may not be able to use the internet on your computer while you are connected to Mr Beam. See page 11.

Option B: Connection via network cable (Ethernet) and router
Connect Mr Beam to the network router using a cable. Then, use the find.mr- beam service to create a connection to your Mr Beam.
This option is particularly stable due to the cable connection. An internet connection is necessary for the use of the find.mr-beam service. See page 12.

Option C: Connection via Wi-Fi and router:
Connect your Mr Beam to your network via Wi-Fi. To do this, connect Mr Beam to your Wi-Fi using the Wi-Fi-name and password. For initial setup, you need to connect via Option A or B first. The initial setup may be a little complicated, but in the long term, this is the most comfortable option that many users prefer. See page 13.

CONNECTION WITH MR BEAM

Status Lights
Whether you are setting up for the first time or have connected to your Mr Beam many times before, the Mr Beam Status Lights will show you how to connect to your Mr Beam right now. For this purpose, the Status Lights pulsate (blink slowly) in different colors.

Green pulsation:

Your Mr Beam pulses green if a Wi-Fi direct connection is possible.
The direct connection via the Wi-Fi of the Mr Beam is used during the initial setup and if you want to operate the Mr Beam without an active internet connection. (e.g. at fairs or in the base-ment).
For more details of the Wi-Fi direct connection, please refer to page 30.

Orange pulsation:

Your Mr Beam pulses orange if it has an active internet connection.
In this case, you can access your Mr Beam via find. mr-beam.org in the Google Chrome browser.
More details about the active internet connection (via rou-ter or network cable) can be found on page 31 and 32.

White pulsation:

Your Mr Beam pulses white if it is connected to your local network but has no active internet connection. Visit our online Knowledge Base to find possible solu-tions.
When pulsing green and white at the same time, a Wi-Fi direct connection is possible and it is connected to your network router, but still cannot be found on find. mr-beam.org.

In all cases, you can find more information in our online knowledge base at www.mr-beam.org/docs/lights.

OPTION A: DIRECT CONNECTION VIA MR BEAM WI-FI

Note: During the initial setup, your Mr Beam will guide you through the Mr Beam Welcome Dialog. If you wish to do so, you can set up a Wi-Fi connection with the router there. Other-wise, this is also possible at a later time in the settings.

OPTION B: CABLE AND ROUTER

Connect your Mr Beam to your router with a network cable (Ethernet). The network socket is located on the back under the USB ports.
Note: Do not confuse the socket with the Air Filter System connection on the other side.

Make sure your computer is also connected to the router via cable or Wi-Fi.

After a few seconds (maximum 60 s), your Mr Beam will pulsate with orange lights. The next steps can be found on page 29.
Note: During the initial setup, your Mr Beam will guide you through the Mr Beam Welcome Dialog. If you wish to do so, you can set up a Wi-Fi connection with the router there.

OPTION C: WI-FI AND ROUTER

For initial setup, you need to first connect through either option A or B to get to the Welcome Dialog, where you can set up your Wi-Fi connection.
If you select Option A, connect your computer directly to the Wi-Fi of your Mr Beam. After-wards enter the IP address 10.250.250.1 in your Google Chrome browser. This process is descri-bed in detail on page 30.

If you have a cable, select Option B to connect Mr Beam to your router with the cable. Now use the find.mr-beam service to connect to your Mr Beam for the first time. This process is described in detail on page 31.

Independently of the chosen option, Mr Beam will greet you with the Welcome Dialog. During the Welcome Dialog, you have the option of connecting your Mr Beam to your Wi-Fi. Click the Connect button that appears next to your Wi-Fi network name and then enter your Wi-Fi password.
Note: A similar process is performed when registering a new smartphone in your Wi-Fi.

OPTION C: WI-FI AND ROUTER
If you have selected the Option A for initial setup and are connected to the Mr Beam via Wi-Fi, Mr Beam will interrupt the Wi-Fi connection to your computer to connect to your wireless router. If successful, your Mr Beam will soon pulsate with orange lights and you can connect to the find. mrbeam service.
Note: If this fails, e.g. because you entered an incorrect password, you will not receive an error message because you are no longer connected to your Mr Beam. In this case, you have to repeat the connection process of the Option A from the beginning.

If you have selected the Option B using a cable for initial setup, Mr Beam will tell you if the connection to your router was successful or not. If successful, you can now disconnect the network cable, use the Wi-Fi connection and use the find.mr-beam service.

If you notice a slow connection while operating your Mr Beam, e.g. If the pictures of the camera do not load or load slowly, this is probably due to a poor Wi-Fi connection. In this case, try option B (network cable and router).

MR BEAM FOCUSING
You need to focus the laserhead to achieve the best result with your Mr Beam.

Because the laser light conically leaves the laser head, there is one point at which it is focused maximally, the Focus point. At this point, your Mr Beam has the maxi-mum performance and highest precision. Therefore, the Focus point should be positioned exactly on the material and needs to be manually adjusted to the material height. For this adjustment, the distance between the bottom edge of the laser head and the top edge of the material has to be 10mm. Use the Mr Beam Focus Tool for this.

Rough focus

1. Attach the laser head to one of the four different positions

Fine focus

1. Open the screw on the left side of the laser head to move it up and down.
2. Place the focus tool with the cross between material and laser head

Position laser head

1. Place the laser head on the cross of the focus tool.
2. Then tighten the screw again moderately

MR BEAM MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Attention: Regular maintenance and care are necessary. Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the Mr Beam and disconnect the power plug.

Laser head
The laser head should be cleaned regularly. As a guide value the cleaning requirement can be viewed in the software under Settings -> Maintenance. If you work with materials which generate a lot of dust, such as wood, cleaning of the laser head may be necessary before 100% is reached.

Mechanics
The guide rails of the mechanical system must be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt.
We recommend using a mild, grease-dissolving cleaner and a damp cloth for this purpose.

Working Area
To protect the Mr Beam from unnecessary workload and possible ignition of small parts, always keep the interior clean.

MR BEAM AIR FILTER SYSTEM

To ensure that the exhaust air is cleaned by the Air Filter System, the filters must be changed regularly.
The voucher code QUICKSTARTGUIDE gives you a 10€ discount on your first filter order in our Mr Beam online shop. www.mr-beam.org

Before starting
Check the prefilter and main filter for correct seating. The prefilter must lie flat and cover the entire surface.
The soft, fluffy side of the prefilter must point upwards.

Filter change
The filters should be checked regularly. As a guide value, the wear of both filters can be viewed in the software under Settings -> Maintenance. If you work with materials which generate a lot of dust, such as wood, it is may be necessary to change the filters before they reach 100%.
