1. Start point (zero)
Nudge the pen to the bottom-left corner of your drawing area, then set zero.
2. Far limits
Nudge right until just before the end of travel and mark X. Nudge up the same way and mark Y. Stop 1 to 2 mm before the end stop.
3. Pen up and down
The pen really moves with every click. Nudge it slowly until the tip just touches the paper and press Mark DOWN. Then lift it until it clears the paper by 1 to 2 mm and press Mark UP. Page Up and Page Down also nudge it.
