Always move the Z axis down first to avoid collision with the print tips.

When moving the X and Y axis, make sure you do not stray too far from the home switches (left rear of the 
machine) as this can cause collision with the printer frame . excessive collisions will damage the printer .

CheCkIng The XYz aXIs

Before you start using your CubeX you need to verify that no damage was inflicted on the X, Y or Z axes during shipping. To 

do this, select the ‘move’ option on the main menu .
1 .  move each axis in both directions, using the arrows on the screen .

2 .  after checking that all axes work, use the function button to go back to the main menu .
3 .  select to the ‘Home’ option on the main menu .
4 .  Press the ‘Home’ button . This will move the print jet carriage to each of the home switches, checking the XYZ axis and 

the Home function . The print jet carriage should stop in the home position in the back left corner of the machine .
