Laser engraving or filling does not start from the beginning

Hello everyone, my dsp laser machine won’t engrave from the beginning whenever I feed it with an image or text from the lightburn software. Please what can I do to fix this?

I’m not sure if understand what you’re asking here, but you can flip the starting location of Fill and Image layers by adjusting the scan angle by 180 degrees - so if it is set to the default of 0 now the layer will run bottom to top, and adjusting it to 180 will cause it to run top to bottom instead.

From the photo you’ve shared it looks like you may also want to reduce power a bit and set up a Scanning Offset Adjustment.

Hi Tyler, thanks for the reply but what I’m sayig is that I’m not able to engrave fully. It cuts the top of whatever I’m engraving away horizontally. What is causing this and how can I permanently fix it? I’m a new user too so simple terms will help me understand better. Also, I have tried the 180° procedure but still didn’t fix the problem.

Here’s a picture. The engraved name cuts horizontally at the starting area.

You can recomend a video if there is to further my understanding of this problem and “lightburn offset”. Thanks
