Hi! I am very very new to printing, just got a printer a few days before posting this. I decided to install Marlin after watching a few videos and seeing some forums that recommend it over the stock firmware that comes with the printer. I had a few initial issues, like the stepper motors being inverted, but was easily able to fix those. Unfortunately, i cannot figure out a big issue. My z end stop switch is completely ignored. It worked before marlin, and even after digging around for hours i couldn't find a solution. Wondering if i could get some help?

Where is the z switch located ,top or bottom of ?
Make sure it is plugged into the corresponding monthly or max conector.

Thanks for the info on pronterface! i never knew what software to use to interact and send gcode before this. I tried the M119 command and it said that the x and y endstops were open, but the z endstop was "TRIGGERED." None of the endstops are being pressed so I'm confused as to what to do in this case. The stops worked perfectly on it before i installed Marlin and unfortunately the software provided to flash the original firmware doesn't work.

Thank you guys so much for the help! After inverting the z-axis end stop logic in the configuration.h file as suggested it finally started to work properly. As of posting this i am doing some test prints to see its capabilities. Once again, thanks for all your help.
