=== Types of printers ===
==== Z Min and Z Max ==== While Print Recovery hypothetically works for any printer, printers that home the Z axis up at the top (as opposed to down, at the bed level-- often referred to as a "Z Max printer") are better suited for this feature. The reason for this is that the printer will need to home before restarting the print, and printers depending on the position of the partially-completed print the nozzle could potentially collide with the part if the printer homes down near the bed (referred to as a "Z Min printer"). [[SETTINGS/Printer/Print Recovery/Recover Settings/XY Homing Position|XY Homing Position]] allows the user to specify a set of coordinates that would be least potentially hazardous for a Z Min printer to home down . It's a good idea to designate a zone for this based on the size of the carriage, and make sure not to place the part within it. You may need to disable [[SETTINGS/General/Output Options/File Settings/Center On Bed|Center On Bed]] to place the part exactly where you want it. ==== Hardware Leveling ====
Printers that run a hardware leveling procedure at the beginning of every print cannot use Print Recovery as a partially-completed print could (and probably would) interfere with the procedure.
