ALARM:2 is “out of bounds”, so the laser thinks you were trying to run it into the side of the machine, and stopped you from doing that.
The laser was in the home position. I have been able t print using gerble laser, but would rather use LightBurn
I think I know what the issue is - Your entire UI is in inches, not mm. The design you’re showing is about 25" around, significantly larger than the 150mm working area of the Ortur laser. You have the working area set to be about 150" square - that’s likely why you keep hitting bounds errors.
On the main toolbar is a button to toggle between in/mm.
Click that to get into mm mode, then go to Edit > Device Settings and change the page size to 150 x 150 mm. Then adjust the size of your design to fit within that.
LightBurn defaults to mm for everything which is likely why no one noticed this before.
Thank you sir. Working like a champ.
I think the area of the Ortur Laser Master is actually 150 x 160 mm, so you might want to add in that last 10mm, but I’m happy to hear it’s working for you. 
Not a happy camper

I think part of your problem on OLM might be the origin zero zero
Machine homes always to front, left
Therefore on OLM the wires and the motherboard are are the back of the machine, and the front is the logo
Regarding alarm 2, this means your machine thinks you are going to go outside the 150x160 area
Is a soft limit. You are instructing machine to go , for example to X170 and it knows it cant so throws an error
So a few things to consider
when you type $$ in console, it will output all Grbl settings
What do you read on $130 and $131
What type of job origin are you trying to run? can you take a full screenshot of your lightburn with job included and the laser panel selected?
Regards
Why do I have to place text vertically in software to print horizontal?
You don’t. You likely have the machine rotated 90 degrees from the direction it’s supposed to be, which is why Gil was describing where the front is.
I have the machine facing the same way as I always have.
When typing text the text is horizontal in the LightBurn window. When placing my material to engrave should it parallel which axis?
Answers like this one make it harder to help you - I’ll explain. If I ask, “how is your machine oriented” and you say “the same as always”, that doesn’t answer the question, and since I don’t know which direction your machine has always faced, I still don’t know the answer.
If you said “the ‘Ortur’ label is facing toward me, and the arm of the machine with the laser on it goes to the right”, that would actually give me information needed to help you. If you said that, I would know the machine is properly oriented so there would have to be a configuration or wiring issue. If you told me “The USB plug is facing me” then I’d know the machine was upside down.
The USB and power plugs are on the rear of the machine, and the Ortur label should face you. When you power it up and it homes, it goes to the toward you and the left of the machine.
Sorry to be so dense. I understand now what you wanted. I have it where power cable is facing me because of the many times I have to press reset.
Then your machine is upside down, and that’s why your images are coming out backwards.
Thank you question why dose my frame doses not work?
No idea - now that you’ve corrected the size issue and orientation, what does frame do when you try to use it?
The software crashes. I have to reboot and go direct to start with a window statin possibly out of bounds I go ahead a start burn.
When the software crashes, do you get a pop-up with information that asks you to send it to the developer?
No I do not get a pop up but found out it was something I was doing wrong.
