5. In detail: The Home Corner
Before you start plotting, the carriage must be moved to the Home Corner. This
is as far left and as far back as it will go: where the pen holder is closest to the
left side of the base, that is when the pen holder is closes to the engraved label
“Home”, and the USB port.

Corner
When a plot finishes, the AxiDraw will return to its Home Corner automatically,
leaving it ready for your next plot.
Slide the carriage to the Home Corner by
hand. You can move it diagonally by holding
the solid block of metal behind the vertical
slide of the pen holder. Do not push the ver-
tical slide of the pen holder directly.
The carriage should only be moved when
the power to the motors is o. If it does not
move easily, turn o the motors so that you
are not trying to force them.
To turn o the motors, select Extensions > AxiDraw Utilities > Disable XY Motors
from the menu in Inkscape. Alternately, you can use the “Raise pen, turn o mo-
tors” command in the Setup tab of AxiDraw Control (see page 31) or physi-
cally disconnect the AxiDraw from power.
