With the EEProm Settings you can adjust many of the settings that your printer uses by default. MatterControl can set EEProm settings for both Marlin and Repatier firmware.
[[File:Eeprom1.png|right|frame|EEPROM settings can be found under the Configuration tab]]
The settings window for Marlin firmware
=== Example ===
==== Setting The Steps Per mm ====
This is a great way to fix problems you have with you printer not moving the distance you expect, or having your parts come out with incorrect dimensions.

#Go to 'Advanced Controls'
#Click on the 'CONFIGURATION' tab [[File:Eeprom3.png]]
#Connect to your printer
#In the 'EEProm Settings' click on 'CONFIGURE' [[File:Eeprom4.png]]
#Change the 'Steps per mm:' to correct for any discrepancy you find in your movement distances. [[File:Eeprom5.png]]
==== Equation ====
Here is the equation you can use to find correct values:
<code>Desired_Steps_Per_mm = Actual_Steps_Per_mm * Current_Steps_Per_mm / Desired_Distance</code>
So if your x was set to 80 and you only moved 97mm when trying to move 100mm, you would put in 97 * 80 / 100
And set the X Steps Per mm to 77.6
