Laser not on for first cut/etch

Laser does not fire for for the first line on my Two Trees TTS-55 unless there is only one line. It doesn’t always do it ubt often enough to be very annoying especially when working with other peoples or expensive materials

As you can see the first oval is not etched.

Additional info:

The first cut is done at framing power if I have used the frame option, If I cut without framing it cuts correctly.

are ovals or circles? and i also see some others issues in this engraving. At which power and speed do you have done that?

This is from a traced bitmap, any problems are down to my trace settings, it was a one off done for a friend so I didn’t save the project.

The missing oval at around 4 on a clock face is the bigger problem as the laser isn’t switched out of trace mode until it’s switched off, moved to the next cut and switched on again.
