20. The last part of the Update process is Calibrating the Z Axis. You will need to place a Plate of any thickness on the Table in a location that is easy to access and to see. The Plate will be used as a surface for the torch to press in to in order to calibrate the Automatic Surface Sensing.
Once you have the Plate in place, tap the "Controller" button to move the Torch directly over the Plate.
21. Use the Blue buttons to move the Torch: Forward, Backward, Left & Right. Tapping the Grey button in the center will change how far the Torch moves with each button press. To make small movements, tap the Grey button till it says "x10"
Use the Black/White buttons to move the Torch to whatever edge of the Table the Arrows are pointing at. This is convenient for moving large distances such as from the back of the Table to the very front of the Table (or to the corners)
22. Once the Torch is over the Plate, tap the "Calibrate Z" button to begin Calibrating the Z Axis

26. Use the Blue Up/Down buttons to raise and lower the Torch till it's just barely touching the Plate. Tap the Grey button in the center to change how far the Torch moves with each button tap
27. Once the Torch is just barely touching the Plate, tap the "Next" button
28. For the last step in the Update process, you will need a measuring device such as a ruler or tape measure to measure 1" above the Plate.
Use the Blue Up/Down buttons to adjust the Torch till the Tip is exactly 1" above the Plate
29. Once the Torch height has been adjusted, tap the "Next" button
30. Congratulations, you're done! Tap the "OK" button and start cutting!
