BEFORE USING THE PRINTER
Safety First!
This printer is intended for professional use by an operator with at least basic knowledge of electronics,
mechanics, and computers in general. Use by unqualified persons may be dangerous to the user and/or damaging to the
printer. Printer damage due to mis-use is not covered by the warranty. Follow all safety guidelines within this manual.
INITIAL ACTUATOR ALIGNMENT
Prior to powering up the machine, move the X axis to the
end of the build area, as shown. Gently push both sides
simultaneously
so the actuators move smoothly until
they reach the end. This will eliminate any racking

or
misalignment that occurred during shipping.

Once the unit is plugged in, turn it on using the button
located on the control panel and the front of the

The control panel is located inside of the enclosure
toward the front of the printer.
In case of emergency, press one of the Emergency Stop
buttons (located on the front and rear of the machine).
For machines sold prior to 12/4/15, press the Power Off
button located on the front of the electrical panel.
