1. Connect the Z probe to the back of the control box.
2. Open UGCS (Universal G-Code Sender) on your Mac.
3. Move the bit to the surface of the object using the direction buttons.
4. Place an A4 paper under the bit; it should barely touch the paper.
5. Click "Zero XY" and "Zero Z" to set the origin.
6. Modify the Z-probe parameter in UGCS, changing Z15 to Z14.83.
7. Place the Z probe as shown in the manual and click the Z-probe button to start detection.
8. After detection, remove the Z probe and click "Send" to start engraving.
