Look in the wizard homing menu there's a button there that allows you to activate it and edit it directly

On the 6' x 12' machine I just retrofit I sometimes park the machine at the back left corner so at the start of the job the next day it's easy to load the 6x12 sheets of plastic. To avoid that "very long, slow homing move" when I first power up the machine I just manually jog the Y axis a few inches from the Y home switche and then press cycle start to home the machine. The manual move with the wireless keyboard takes just a few seconds, works similar to the wireless MPG. Thankfully as Keith pointed out you can customize the PARK command to be anything you want. I have it set to the back, center on my persoanl machine.

You could just as easily modify the park macro to ask where you want to park and then have it go there depending on the situation, back to be out of the way, or close to the home switches at the end of the day for fast homing at the next startup.

Yup, I have my park macro in the wizard is set to 1" from the home switches so when I'm shutting down my machine I can use the F1 command to park it at the front of the machine near the home switches. For my second option I also have a custom VCP button that parks the machine at the rear, conter of the table if I want it out of the way.

or you can get to it from the edit button in the wizard under machine parking.
