1. Tap [X-axis calibration] and wait for extruders heating up. After heating up till target temperature,
2 lines will be printed in sequence. Check if the 2 lines are aligned after printing. Meanwhile, the
pop-up window will appear.
Check if the lines printed by 2 extruders aligned on X-axis to judge if the extruders
on the same X-axis.
2. If the 2 lines are totally aligned, Tap [Yes], X-axis calibration is done. If the 2 lines are not totally
aligned, Tap [No]. Adjust position of extruders according to actual situation. After that, clean the
