Priming Gcode

I posted this in software forum, before I thought of posting here, since would be seen more. Hope this is okay, doing a double post.

Some of the files that I have printed from Prusa, start out a short priming of filament at the front left side edge of bed. I like this feature at beginning of print project.  I was told that when you slice with PrusaSlicer, that Gcode is added to the slice, but have been slicing with it quite a bit and doesn't seem to add it.  Is there a way to automatically add it to every slice I do?

RE: Priming Gcode

Slicer should definitely add the priming code to the front of the gcode file.  Make sure that you're using the using the standard printer profile.  If you go to "Printer Settings" tab in slicer and select "Custom GCODE" on the left, you should see something like the below code somewhere in the "Start G-code" text box:

G1 Y-3.0 F1000.0 ; go outside print area
G92 E0.0
G1 X60.0 E9.0 F1000.0 ; intro line
G1 X100.0 E12.5 F1000.0 ; intro line
G92 E0.0
