4.4 Check pen-up and pen-down positions
Within Inkscape, open up AxiDraw Control: Extensions > AxiDraw Control.
Then, select the Setup tab:
Select the Toggle pen between UP, DOWN option, and click the Apply button.
If everything is hooked up correctly, the pen lift motor should alternately move
the vertical slide to the pen-up or pen-down positions each time that you press
Apply.
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 §2.3 Unboxing AxiDraw, on
page 12.)
