New M2 owner having setup troubles.

Hello folks! I just got my M2 in today and have been having issues with endstop points. The z axis hasnt been set up yet, but the x and y both seem to move too far and cause the motor to skip teeth on the belt. I am using the Printrun software and just trying to figure out how to zero this machine. Any help would be appreciated!

Have a look at this document:

Skip to "Motor check", then continue on to "Endstop check". Have you done those things, or functionally similar steps?

Thanks for the response! I realized the program does not set bounds for the motor. I was clicking it to move at maximum distance assuming it would stop at the end of the printers capability and that is not the case. Problem solved once I found how to zero the machine. Thanks!!
