CPAP pressure can be set for 4 cm or 14 cm not both.

You need to tell us more info about your machine and how it's set up, really. Jim

OP, do you mean the starting pressure is set to 4 cmH2O and the target pressure that it ramps up to is set to 14 cmH2O?

If so, your ramp time may be set to zero, IOW ramp function is turned off and it's going to full pressure immediately.
