Left hotend fan spinning or not spinning in Fan test
Hi, I just started the self-test of my printer. At the beginning, both Extruder fan and Print fan were turned on in turn so the Fan test was OK in both cases. Then, a question appeared on the screen:
Fan test
Left hotend fan?
Spinning
>Not spenning
By left hotend fan, do they mean the square fan on the side? The fan does not spin. Is it normal? So I chose Not spinning. Is this a trick question?
Next, it asks if the Front print fan is spinning. I see the front circular fan is spinning so I chose Spinning.
Am I doing the right thing?

Welcome to Polish Logic from the Slovic state ...
Translation of languages getting in the way. But the codes I think are trying to avoid words like cooling fan and print fan because most builders haven't a clue. Like a sailor calling rope the rode or a sheet or a halyard. If the left fan is spinning and you are asked if it is, the answer should be obvious.
The worst thing that can happen is when you start a print, the wrong fan will turn on as the hot end heats up.
