Possibly, setting profile depth to say 1mm to engrave seems ok but having to zero the others seems a bit extreme. I'm not familiar with that screenshot, maybe someone else is. What machine is that from ?
I expect each value is only used if the machine is told to do that type of cut, otherwise you'll be continually changing them. For example, if it knows you want to do a profile cut then it will look at that value and cut it as required, ignoring the others. Is this a self contained piece of kit, or do you create Gcode externally and run it through this machine to cut it? Have you just bought this kit and are trying to get something out of it?
In the absense of any instructions or other advice, the best way to find out all this out is to do an 'air cut' where the machine is not cutting, there is no workpiece (to give more space) and you set Z zero deliberately high so that it cuts in mid-air. Set the cut rates very low and hover over the estop button just in case.
If you send in info about the machine, the way it needs code/programming, and some pictures of it you'll probably find someone here who can give more specific help.
