Home Position Makelangelo 5; Need to move from middle to top

[EdmondsLibrarian]

The machine, Makelangelo 5, home position is in the middle of the paper (almost even with the pulleys).
It should be near the top. How can I move/reset?

Possibly related: paper size is tiny.
Drawbot #17,945
Firmware upgraded to 9.1.0
Software upgraded to 7.21.0

Once home is corrected, I will be able to use your excellent posting on tuning

It might help other Makelangelo 5 users who experience the “grinding” sound when finding home position to check the orientation of stepper motor pins. It will “grind” if not oriented correctly. Refer to the assembly manual, step 7, for a picture

Maybe there is a way to “reset” the memory and reload the software?
