Hi All, I did search already so this is my call for help.
Is there a button, check box, dropdown menu, or other option to scan / engrave from "Bottom Up".. on other machines this is an option to reduce deposits back onto the surface.

Go to "Handle" and select "Cut optimize" from the drop down and the engraving direction check box is on the right.

I have always changed the Laser head to the lower position in system setup, it has always worked for me.
