When printing, venture into the Trotec Engraver printer settings and ensure that both "Take from application" and "Minimize to jobsize" are enabled. Then, ensure that your job actually fits onto a page that'll fit on the Trotec bed. Watch for stragglers, points of vectors, errant pastes or lines. Check the Print Preview and CorelDRAW's Preflight tab. Move your work to another part of the page.
