 ##Remove the focusing tool and return it to its home.
 ##Press the USB icon found in the bottom right corner of Job Control to connect to the laser cutter. The laser should beep a few times and then a the background of job control will change to a honeycomb pattern to represent the actual honeycomb table. Also, the USB icon will change to a play icon.
-# Cutting with Tortec Ruby
+# Cutting with Trotec Ruby
 There are four tasks you will need to complete in order to cut/engrave using Trotec Ruby
 ## First, you need to get the image from inkscape into Trotec Ruby. This can be done by simply downloading the file and dropping it into Trotec Ruby.
