Q: Does ICARO work with LightBurn files? A: Partially. It can import LightBurn .lbart files but will lose layer-specific power curves. It is better to import raw SVG/PNG and re-assign layers in ICARO.
Q: Can I run two lasers at once on one PC? A: Yes. Open two instances of ICARO. Connect Laser 1 to COM3. Connect Laser 2 to COM4. You must manually assign a different COM port to each instance before connecting.
Q: My rotary roller is turning the wrong direction. A: In the Rotary setup tab, check the "Reverse Axis" box. If you are engraving a wine glass, ensure the "Diameter" is set to the exact mm of the glass, not the roller wheel. icaro laser software manual

Requires an external power meter (Ophir, Coherent). Best practice: Test on scrap with small cuts,
The manual dedicates its most dense section to the Parameter Library. This is the engine of the software. The operator must understand the interplay of three variables defined in the manual:

Device → Calibration → Factory Reset – restores baseline offset.
This is where the "manual" part of the manual lives.
