-* Click on Setup > System
+Visit the [[Scale factors]] page and follow the instructions on setting up your scale factors.
-* Find the "Mx Scale" section.
-* Change the Scale Factor(s) to the correct value(s) for the machine. See the Scale Factor label on the gantry or front leg for details. Otherwise, see below for a guess.
-* Click "OK" to save change
-−
-If the scale factors are unavailable, try the following values, depending on your machine:
-−
-===LC===
-* All axes: -20320
-−
-===LC plus===
-* M1: -12192
-* M2: -7620
-* M3: -20320
-−
-===RG===
-* M1: -10160 (most) or -12192 (59"x50")
-* M2: -7620 (newer) or -5080 (older)
-* M3: -20320
-−
-===Premium Class===
-* M1: 10160
-* M2: 5080
-* M3: -20320
-−
-If none of these values work, please check your measurement device. Try measuring over a larger, or shorter area for verification.
-−
-=== Manual Scale Factor Generation ===
-−
-If you are still having problems, perform the following operation:
-−
-* Using calipers, measure exactly how far the machine moves when you use jog step to move the machine 1 inch.
-* Take the current scale factor value, and divide it by the result you just got. (i.e. 20320 / .9")
-−
-The resulting number is the correct scale factor. Repeat this test until you achieve the desired accuracy.
