6) Zero the Z axis using a piece of paper and ‘INCR” jog mode, or Z-PROBE. If using Z probe, first check probe speeds and distances in the probing screen. **Mach3 starts in INCH mode but the probe settings are whatever the last person left them at** Make sure you change the tool number to 99 before probing. Change the tool number to 1 or 0 after probing.

'''Ethernet smoothstepper ran out of data in the middle of a move'''
 
This is known to happen when messing (zooming, panning / orbiting) with the view port (3D preview). When your job is running, don't mess with it
