I can not find where to adjust the "inching" setting. Right now when I push up/down left/right on keypad to move the nozzle the gantry moves the entire breadth or length of the bed. This happened after I had to re-install RDWORKS. My default RDSET file is for a 500/700 bed but the inching setting is elusive. Does anyone know where I can set this to zero or what the actual menu item is to make the adjustment?

Red/Black 100w 500x700

Thanks
Charlie

Thanks for helping, that's not the setting I'm looking for. I am needing to adjust the distance the head travels when pushing the x-y keys on the keypad. The user manual calls it inching but I can not find where to adjust.

I found it. On the control board the (manual) setting is where the travel distance is adjusted. Set to 0 to travel as long as the jet is pressed.
