Any way to disable keyboard Job by default? I would like to set it to off by default.

You have to edit the screen script “screen load” code, and comment out the areas that activate it. It annoyed me the way it would turn back on after hitting MDI, so I have messed with it a bit in my own script.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Mach4. I’ve only had my PRO4896 about 14 months and have not tried to learn the in’s and out’s of Mach4. I’ve mainly been in Mill Mill Mill mode. Guns and CNC my two hobbies hahahah.

If there is any way you could do a step by step I would be grateful for your assistance friend.

Thanks
