No problem. Go into config, ports and pins screen, go to the motor outpyts tab, and click the red x in the dir low active for the z axis, if its already a green check mark, click on it to change it to a red x, either way, just change it from what it is,

If you're very new, I really doubt you're using Mach 3 software to drive your printer. SeeMe doesn't offer Mach 3 as an option for anything these days, so far as I know.
You've replied to a thread that's over four years old. Even then the 3d printer industry was moving away from not-free Mach 3 in favor of free open source alternatives.

I am SO new I've even never heard of Mach3 (except for the razorblades). I supposed that Max V3 was meant...

Nope,,, it's motion control software for PC. Art Fenerty did a really good job writing it.

Likewise! I just reloaded the firmware and it fixed the issue.

I was in the body armor/protection industry for a number of years and picked this up as a hobby and now I'm pursuing it more seriously with no formal training.
