My camera doesn’t recognize my proof-grade materials. This is only 4th time using the glowforge since I got it last Monday
Have you tried cleaning the camera lens on the lid? and possibly rotating the board 180 degrees. If that does not work a screenshot of the dashboard when the material is in the machine would help support staff.

No I have not do this because I am not sure the steps
It is nice when the Glowforge recognizes the material, but certainly not necessary. Sooner or later you will be using scraps that don’t have the proofgrade sticker, and you still will be able to use the proofgrade settings. Simply select the material from the drop down menu and the proofgrade settings will auto populate. As stated above, you can also use the Zeiss wipe that came with your machine to gently wipe the lid camera. You can also try rotating your proofgrade material so the sticker is in the upper left corner rather than the lower right.
