IPM Beam ON/OFF: Allows you to manually turn
the Laser on or off. When you start a build the laser
automatically turns on.
Pinhole: Opens Proling Mode. In this mode
the beam will check the position of the pinhole to
ensure that the laser is drawing in the proper spot.
This works as a checkpoint to ensure that printing is
starting at the same point.
