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.

power.
Rest Position X:
Shows the current x-axis rest
position of the IPM Beam relative to the home
position.
Rest Position Y:
Shows the current y-axis rest
position of the IPM Beam relative to the home
position.
Move IPM Beam X:
Set the value to manually
adjust the IPM Beam along the x-axis using the
edit button. To move the IPM Beam, use the
