Title: page up, page down for z axis not working
Post by: jlroch on April 17, 2026, 02:10:34 PM

- mach4 hobby
- installed a new computer (thinkpad 540p)
- installed all software including mach4 (with latest update)
- mach4 works correctly EXCEPT for the page up/page down function for the z axis
- put old computer back, all works well including page up/down
- put new laptop back, still no page up/down

soooo, obviously it's a configuration, not mechanical issue.
i do not know how/where to fix the configuration.

Not sure this will help but…
In Diagnostic / Keyboard Inputs check that Page Up / Page Down illuminate when you press those keyboard keys. If not then change the key allocations (usually 33 / 34) to match your 540p keyboard.

If it is a number keypad make sure NumLock is off.
