To save time and machine wear, save your matrix to EEPROM with [`M500`](/docs/gcode/M500.html) and in your slicer's "Starting G-code" replace `G29` with `M420 S1` to enable your last-saved matrix.	tag optional description values A true Abort leveling procedure in-progress (`PROBE_MANUALLY`) type bool tag optional description values C true Create fake points for testing.

Automatic (3-Point) Bed Leveling probes the bed at 3 points and enables bed leveling compensation using a rotation matrix to compensate for bed tilt.

The printer must be homed with G28 before G29.

Automatic Probing

Using an electronic probe Marlin can probe all three points with a single G29 command. See parameter descriptions and examples below for details.

Manual Probing

Auto Bed Leveling now includes a PROBE_MANUALLY option for systems lacking a probe.

PROBE_MANUALLY adds these parameters to G29:

• Q : Query leveling and G29 state
• A : Abort current leveling procedure

To do manual probing simply repeat G29 until the procedure is complete.

The first G29 accepts the same parameters , shown in the Usage section below. The exact parameters available will depend on which style of bed leveling is enabled. (Note: UBL parameters are not covered on this page unless they coincide. See the G29 for UBL page for a full list of its options.*)

{% details Probing Procedure %}

Before probing the bed:

1. Use G29 Q to get the current status. If G29 isn't idle, abort with G29 A.
2. Use M420 V to view leveling data. You can send M420 S1 to use the existing data.

To probe the bed using G-code:

1. Use G29 to move to the first point for Z adjustment.
2. Adjust Z so a piece of paper can just pass under the nozzle.
3. Use G29 to save the Z value and move to the next point.
4. Repeat steps 3-4 until completed.
5. Use M500 to save the leveling data to EEPROM, if desired.

To probe the bed using your LCD controller: (Requires LCD_BED_LEVELING)

1. Select the Level Bed sub-menu, then choose Level Bed (not Cancel).
2. Wait for Homing XYZ to complete.
3. When Click to Begin appears, press the controller button to move to the first point.
4. Use the controller wheel to adjust Z so that a piece of paper can just pass under the nozzle.
5. Press the controller button to save the Z value and move to the next point.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 until completed.
7. Use Control > Store memory to save the mesh to EEPROM, if desired.
