The Beijing FEL is a rf linac based facility designed to work in the IR spectra range. In this paper, the design consideration and system layout are briefly reviewed first, and then various measures adopted to optimize the electron beam quality to satisfy the lasing requirement are described. Spontaneous emission, stored spontaneous emission and lasing were observed in sequence. The optical spectrum, detuning curve and wavelength shift were measured to confirm first lasing. Further work to be performed is indicated.
