2. On the X-Y control panel, the arrows pointing Up move the tooling plate toward the front of
the dispensing area and the arrows pointing Down move it toward the back.
3. On the Z control panel, the arrows pointing Up move the dispensing head upward and the
arrows pointing Down move it downward.
 NOTE The single arrows and double arrows
move the dispensing head or tooling plate
different distances and different velocities per touchpad click (Table 3-1).
4. Clicking on Home sends the dispensing head and tooling plate to their home positions. The
dispensing head (X- and Z-axes) home position is all the way up and to the extreme left of
the dispensing area. The tooling plate (Y-axis) home position is at the extreme back of the
dispensing area. In the home position, the X-, Y-, and Z-axes coordinates are (0, 0, 0).
