Chapter 7. Software Calibration
1. Nozzle checking: Print the nozzle checking to check the condition of the printhead.
Make sure to turn off the Eclosion (Feather) function before doing the alignment.
2. Vertical calibration: Observe the physical alignment of printheads.
（This step is not aligned well which will affect the following adjustment）
Align the physical vertical position of printhead.
The first pass line is the reference; observe whether the second pass line is perfectly aligned with the first
pass line. If not, then we need to adjust the carriage plate. There are 3 situations:
1) The two pass is perfectly aligned, no need to adjust:
2) The second is on the left side of the first pass:
Adjust method:
A. Loosen the 3 screws on the carriage plate:
B. Turn the screw clockwise:
