 The 3-D Printer came with a Micro SD card, as well as a USB-to-MicroSD converter. This card had two sample gcode files (a dog and a cat model). I copied this to F:\download\Creality

+===== Leveling the Bed =====
+Had best success by not using the "Disable Steppers" function. Then I used tips from this web site:
+  * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfVTD8d-a4o
+  * This has a file at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4803058
+Files: LevelBed_NRML_GCODE_file.gcode, LevelBed_CNTR_GCODE_file.gcode
+The idea is that if you Disable Steppers, the print head can move vertically while trying to move it around, causing it to become out of adjustment.
+Also there was a gcode file which helps by moving the print head to Z=0, and right over the adjustment "wheels" one at a time. The person on the web site points out that some gcode actually moves to Z=0.2, which throws off the adjustment.
+This has been working fine. I adjusted the bed today 5/18/2021 to print something which fills the bed, and the corners were off.
+===== Plastic Won't Stick to the Bed =====
+Had problem where the filament came out a bit whispy, and it wouldn't stick to the bed. Tried doing a LevelBed_CNTR_GCODE process moving the nozzle closer to the glass without improvement.
+Used new needles to clean out the nozzle. The new needles are a bit larger in diameter (although shorter), and fit tighter in the nozzle orifice, perhaps cleaning it out better. 7/11/2023
