Need Help Easy Cut Studio - Scaling issue?

Hello,

I am using Easy Cut studio which to me seems rather basic and no-frills. Today I tried to cut a 30" wide simple lettering banner on a roll of oramask and sent the data to my Mutoh Kona 1400.

The machine started cutting, but right away I noticed it was cutting outside the required area. Rather, it was cutting horizontally relative to the media. The roll is 24" wide, and it seems the cutter began cutting at the start of the lettering outside the bounds of the media. What's even stranger is that everything was "re-sized" to fit the media width. I did not change any settings in the software which up until now has worked fine.

The virtual mat size and x-y resolution are the same and I was getting perfect results up until a few days ago. I'm still relatively new to this, and had some issues with my secondhand machine, but this seems totally weird.

Can anyone make a suggestion?

In the software, When you hit cut to bring up the cut settings window, click the settings button and there are settings for X and Y resolution. If it is cutting too small, Increase the values. Values are based off a 1 x 1 inch square. Make sure the units are set to inches. Most of the time these will be set to 1.0 and 1.0. So now you will adjust these numbers accordingly in order to resolve the scaling issue.
