If there is no movement, double check that you have power and USB connected
as given in the previous section. If it still does not move, also check that you
have correctly hooked up the pen-lift motor cable. (See section “2.3 Unboxing
AxiDraw” on page 12.)
While in the pen-up position, insert your pen and position it above your paper.
The vertical position of your pen should be approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 - 6
mm) above the surface of the paper. You can physically adjust the position of the
pen with the thumbscrew, and/or change the positions from the Setup tab of
AxiDraw Control.
Toggle also to the pen-down position. With the pen down, the pen should rest
on the paper by its weight. If it does not, you may need to lower the pen-down
position. (While testing, you can protect the paper that you will be writing upon
with another sheet of paper, to avoid writing on your actual workpiece.)
Finally, return the pen holder back up, to position your paper for printing.
Pen up gap:
1/8 - 1/4 inch
(3-6 mm)
