  1. Open Settings and enter the settings shown below in your Settings>Height Control window then close the window
  2. Turn off the cut control and run the torch height down until the EasyScriber tip is compressed 3/16"-1/4"
  3. Open Settings again and click the Zero button beside Z shift (inch) in the lower left corner

I want to add here - I found a new trick that is great when the material or your bed is unlevel and you get great marks in one area but it is too high or low in another.

Follow the above instructions and also check the 'Pause before cutting' on the Machine Control tab. The scribe will go to the mark and adjust to the height it thinks it should be. You can then use the Z jog buttons to adjust up or down if needed, press start and it will run that path and then go to the next path and pause for you to confirm the height.

Also, I use this a lot to mark locations for studs on the back of a design for layered signs. If you draw circles for those locations then you can set the gap at end of loop to negative 1 or 1.5 and it will go over it a couple times to make it more visible.
