No origin selection in device settings

I am running LightBurn 1.7.04 on a Windows 11 laptop controlling a Commarker B4 60watt MOPA laser. The output was a mirror image. The most current manual and the forums all said to go to EDIT-DEVICE-SETTINGS and change the origin point. Under this version of the software there is not an origin option…

The 9 circle grid on the toolbar had absolutely no effect on anything…

In the EDIT-DEVICE SETTINGS tab there is a Galvo 1 section that has a Reverse Direction (negate) option which when selected will allow the image (text) to engrave properly however, whether this is selected or not, the X axis is rotated 90 degrees clockwise on the engraver. (the positive direction of the X axis goes to the right as you look at the machine).

Am I missing something on the settings tab?

Is the new version of the software missing an origin selection?

How can I get the X axis to align in the proper direction?

There’s no user specified origin for a fiber… I understand it’s generally front/left, but there’s really no need to know it in most circumstances.

Does this come with a lens correction file that you can import into Lightburn when you create the device? It should have all your controller and lens information.

Does Commarker supply any instructions for a setup with Lightburn?

Did you follow the instructions of Commarker?

Have you tried changing which galvo is the x axis as stated below ?

Thanks for the input. I tried that and it worked. It was also the same fix that LightBurn sent to me.

Thanks for the input. ComMarker’s documentation leaves a lot to be desired and their support is not much better. I got a good response from another user and from LightBurn support so the problem is now fixed.

Sounds like you got it working, can you mark the thread that fixed it solved?

Have fun
