Project engraves and cuts in a mirror image format

[Dave6 (Dave Gilbert)]

I am current using the demo version of the licence. I have a XTOOL D1 Pro 10w laser. I have followed the online tutorials, which are excellent. I have used the demo project in lesson 2 to create a QR Code for home wifi access. I can recreate the demo project BUT when it is sent to the laser, it is engraved and cut in Mirror image. The online documentation suggests to move the origin from lower left to upper right. This was tried without success. I am looking at an issue that is a characteristic of the demo version of the software.

Check this post:

Laser cutting upside down

Your origin is likely setup incorrectly. Go to Edit->Device Settings and set Origin to top-left for your laser. However, this implies that you didn’t use the .lbdev configuration files provided by xTool. Suggest you follow the setup guide here: Use LightBurn to Operate xTool D1 Pro – xTool

Make sure you’re adjusting machine origin in Device Settings. And this should be top-left. Note that this is different than Job Origin in Laser window.

Thanks Berainlb. Your fix worked.
