        That is for configuring the probe.

        To actually probe you use one of the G30 variants.

        So which variant did you use?

        Thanks.

          As you look to be on RRF3

          The M558 command switch "probe type" needs to be set to P8 instead of P1

          IR Probe

          With Duet 3 main board, expansion board or tool board: Connect the VCC, GND and OUT pins of the sensor to 3.3V, GND and IN respectively on an IO probe connector, and select mode 8 in the M558 command.

              your surface is reflective and not dull.
              that is not good for ir.

                  OK that variant is used to report what the Z trigger height is.

                  To set the Z=0 datum you want to use just G30.

                      Place a plain piece of paper on your bed and try testing again. As Veti says, your bed may not be very suitable for an IR sensor.

                          Ah yes, that would definitely do it.
