I do not know that machine, having googled it, it didn’t look like it has homing switches. When you power it up, does it go to a certain corner? If not it doesn’t know where it is. I must have the ability to home.

Here’s link for you to look at from [LightBurn](https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/homing-cycle-is-not-enabled-in-your-grbl-settings/25718).

Hope that helps 🙂
