Error: Y axis position -0.254mm is less than minimum soft limit

I’m setting up my Journeyman and have not cut anything yet. I’m trying to lightly score the tabletop using the CNC so I can align my spoilboard planks. When I run the file I created in Carvo, I get the error,

To get to this error, I homed, set Z using block, and loaded the gcode. When I run the code, I get the error. It’s as if my home position is too far to the left?

Many new users to the Onefinity CNC often get the machine unboxed, assembled, and moving in a few minutes without ever needing to look at instructions. But then they home the machine and are alarmed when their screen looks like this: (Left picture is non-e…
