'''Logging onto the Rabbit computer and starting LightBurn for the first time''', follow these steps to load the machine configuration: | |||
1) On the Intro screen that pops up, hit '''OK''' | |||
2) Next will appear the Devices box, just click '''Cancel''' | |||
3) "Device setup required" - click '''No''' on this box, and '''LightBurn will close''' | |||
4) Restart LightBurn - it should come up in dark mode, and near the bottom of the right pane, there should now be a "Rabbit" device! | |||
If for some reason this doesn't work, the machine/device/software configuration files are saved on the P:\ shared drive, or reach out to laser@ / forum / trainers. | |||
While LaserCut is still present on the machine, it will not "do anything" with the laser and remains for posterity in old case settings are needed or some poor users have .FTP files to work on. More historical LaserCut information can be found in the edit history of this page. | While LaserCut is still present on the machine, it will not "do anything" with the laser and remains for posterity in old case settings are needed or some poor users have .FTP files to work on.

If the lid is open when starting the Rabbit, it sometimes won't come out of the startup screen. Close the lid and try turning the laser off and on again. If that doesn't work, check to make sure the lid is engaging the switch when closed (the switch is in the back left side of the opening, on the body of the Rabbit).</s> | If the lid is open when starting the Rabbit, it sometimes won't come out of the startup screen.
