Or is it safe as long as the exhaust fan is working properly and the water reservoir is full, for it to run without me standing by it? I'm not familiar with the process so I don't know if I can just access the "job" while standing at the laser cutter or do I need to "execute" the "job" while sitting at the computer after setting everything up? I'm not comfortable running the laser without me being near the machine. Because I do not have experience in actually using the laser, what I don't know is how often does the user need to go back and forth between the computer and the laser cutter. And connecting to the Laser is not an issue because the main hub/router is in the basement, so adding another item to the network via the Ethernet port is not an issue. This will be the machine I will be using to draw everything so that isn't the issue. For several reasons that I do not wish to go into as i'm sure there will be people who would disagree as to the logic of this, currently the only machine that has win7 is the one in my office.
