Laser drops down from work origin when it starts

Just had a new issue crop up and I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. I switched over from printing to laser. Something I have done many times. The laser is calibrated and work origin set.
When I start my job the Z axis goes to 22.5 mm off the bed no matter what the Z work origin is set to. I have used this file before and even created a new one. I also tried with a couple of other files I have used before. Each time the laser drops the same distance before it starts. I have restarted the machine a few times and reset the work origin but the problem persists. Any ideas or suggestions? I have also tried redoing the firmware.

I found the issue. The Printing Auto Mode option got turned on somehow. Turning it off solved the issue.Screenshot 2021-03-04 120255

What does printing auto mode do?

the same could be asked of nearly any Luban button
