TAZ 5 taking several attempts to connect (Mac)

Strange problem has popped up over the last few months. Normally I turn on my TAZ printer then load Simplify 3D and it automatically connects. If I turn on S3D first then I have to hit the connect button.

But in the last few months I have to hit the connect button several times (2-4) before it will connect even when turning on the printer first.

Once connected I can print 24 hours with no connection issues and as long as I don't turn the printer off it will stay connected. It's just an annoyance but it's bugging me and I wondered if anybody has a clue why and how to fix it?

Attached is a copy of the communication when it failed on first attempt then connected on second attempt in case it provides any clues

Did you update the firmware recently? Perhaps something on the machine changed

No updates to firmware. Nothing changed but a printed camera mount added to the machine. That's what is perplexing me, nothing that I know of has changed.
