Step1: Preparation

Clean the pendant on both sides, with isopropyl alcohol, and dry with microfiber.

Autofocus techniques:
Paint a thin layer of dark paint or stick a very thin opaque adhesive on the side that will not be engraved. 
Alternative: Place the pendant under a dark metal plate (aluminum or steel), and autofocus on this plate. Then place the pendant ON this plate for engraving.

Open the XCS or XS file, and activate the infrared preheat in the F2 settings.
Identify the three groups of vectors to be engraved, named:

Jazz Colors
Jazz Black
Jazz Outline

By default, the output is disabled for all  groups
Use a rectangular medallion of thickness 1 to 1.5 mm in polished 304 steel, preferably 50 mm x 28 mm.
Place the autofocus side under the center spot, close the cover, and autofocus
Flip the pendant over and position it horizontally, about 1 cm below the center spot. Select
all three groups simultaneously to size and place the model on the pendant.
Verify that all three groups have their output turned off
