Printable area is shrinking on app

I used my glowforge yesterday with a similar design and exact same settings and materials, the printable area was almost 19.5” wide and 11” high. Today I turn on the machine and load design, it shows the printable area as a small square in the dead middle of the print bed, this is the smallest I have ever seen it. I’m not using it at high speeds because or anything. What gives?

I restarted the machine twice, reloaded my browser, restarted the computer, and then used a different device to load the app. Any ideas?

The usable area is affected by the speed of the engrave settings as the printhead needs space at the beginning and end of every line to slow down, stop and reverse course. If you input a slower engrave speed you will see the usable area change.

Sometimes we get settings we did not intend, but that is what engraving at top speed might look like. I would double check and run Set Focus again.
