Hi,
essentially the problem is that the 0,0,0 of the blank material is not the 0,0,0 of the Gcode.
Its not particularly convenient but if you put the tool tip inside the boundary of the material blank at the Gcode 0,0,0 then hit start you'd be fine.
Another trick along the same lines....if the program extents are -14mm and -4mm. Jog to the corner of the material and zero the axes.
Issue an MDI G0 X14 Y4. That should now be co-incident with the Gcode 0,0,0. Zero the axes again and hit start.
