    The slicing software sends the printer a set of commands prior to printing. Below is the information send before the print file to my CTC3D by Simplyfy3D. I would imagine that Makerbot would be similar.

    ; **** Replicator 1 dual start.gcode ****
    M73 P0 ; Enable build progress
    G162 X Y F3000 ; Home XY maximum
    G161 Z F1200 ; Home Z minimum
    G92 Z-5 ; Set Z to -5
    G1 Z0 ; Move Z to 0
    G161 Z F100 ; Home Z slowly
    M132 X Y Z A B ; Recall home offsets
    M135 T0 ; Load right extruder offsets
    G1 X-120 Y-70 Z30 F9000 ; Move to wait position off table
    G130 X20 Y20 Z20 A20 B20 ; Lower stepper Vrefs while heating
    M126 S[fan_speed_pwm] ; Set fan speed
    M140 S[bed0_temperature] T0 ; Heat buildplate
    M134 T0 ; Stabilize bed temperature
    M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ; Heat right extruder
    M133 T0 ; Stabilize right extruder temperature
    G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 ; Default stepper Vrefs
    G92 A0 B0 ; Zero extruders
    G1 X100 Y-70 F9000 ; Move to front right corner of bed
    G1 Z0.3 F6000 ; Move down to purge
    G1 X-90 Y-70 E24 F2000 ; Extrude a line of filament across the front edge of the bed
    G1 X-100 Y-70 F180 ; Wait for ooze
    G1 X-110 Y-70 F5000 ; Fast wipe
    G1 Z0.5 F100 ; Lift
    M73 P1 ;@body (notify GPX body has started)
    ; **** end of start.gcode ****
