-Note: the G29 gocode is a marlin gcode and not an actual gcode in [[Klipper]], and in Elegoo's distribution of [[printer.cfg]] it may, or may not otherwise, be implemented as a [[macro]]. Klipper instead natively implements the ''BED_MESH_CALIBRATE'' command which features a richer set of parameters and can accomodate [[adaptive_bed_mesh]]. As such consider that using G29 instead of the Klipper command is unreliable and unpredictable as its behavior may change. There's no reason not to use the Klipper correct ''BED_MESH_CALIBRATE''.

 Use the following in Orca's Printer Machine Start gcode:
 <code>
 BED_MESH_CLEAR
+G28
 BED_MESH_CALIBRATE mesh_min={adaptive_bed_mesh_min[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_min[1]} mesh_max={adaptive_bed_mesh_max[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_max[1]} ALGORITHM=[bed_mesh_algo] PROBE_COUNT={bed_mesh_probe_count[0]},{bed_mesh_probe_count[1]} ADAPTIVE=0 ADAPTIVE_MARGIN=0
 </code>
+While the defaults (-99999,-99999 & 99999,99999) will specify the whole plate is probe-able, this isn't actually the case. If you find the printer tries to probe beyond the plate borders you just need to copy in your bed mesh boundaries to Orca's Printer settings, yet the defaults will work unless you're printing close to the ends of the bed.
+== Example for N4 and N4Pro: ==
+printer.cfg file
+<code>
+[bed_mesh]
+mesh_min:10,21
+mesh_max:210,211
+</code>
