> [@Hrings](#): > > Text like Henning is showing almost like the squares on the laser Crisp photographs of the actual results on the machine will be helpful, because it is difficult for us to imagine what you are describing. If the problem is now the location on the laser platform, the `Framing` configuration may need adjustment: > **[Galvo Framing - LightBurn User Guide](https://docs.lightburnsoftware.com/2.2/Reference/GalvoFraming/)** > > LightBurn's Framing is a function of Galvo lasers that outlines projects in your laser's work area using a red dot light, allowing you to see where your design will output on a physical object.

I believe what you’re seeing is during the live[framing function](https://docs.lightburnsoftware.com/latest/GetStarted/GalvoFramingBeginner/) on your galvo - it displays the boundaries of the shapes to be etched as a rectangle - you can select ‘Contour’ to show the actual shapes. ![Ref-GalvoFramingBeginner-LiveFraming](https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/0/001025078b66abb83a316f88078dfd910e27d5cd.png) ---

To add to the above, to get the final cut (what is “printed” by the laser) in the same position as the framing preview (the rectangles you see per letter right now) is to adjust the red dot offset in the device settings.
