Field notes
Photo mode says the image stays on the device unless the user chooses “Sharpen & enlarge 4×” or “Better cut-out,” which sends that image to a GPU partner; those cloud runs are described as limited to account holders. Machine profiles can store laser type, wattage, optional bed dimensions, DPI, and settings, with bed-size warnings and batch-grid sizing. Logo mode offers tracing controls for color layers, specks, smoothing, and fill or edge passes.
