Remember, this will work on stainless steel only. Set the head to 3mm above your usual focal point.
Do a test engrave on a square and while its engraving jog the head up or down till you start to see it coming through black. You should not have any sparks flying out. The first pass will be dark, the second pass will finish it jet black.
