The control commands can be selected by rotating and pressing the rotary knob. Com-
mands under the “Prepare” menu (Figure 7.3) are often used to home and move axes, and
preheat the printer. Commands under the “Control” menu are used to change the default
printer configurations, and are not usually needed for standard printing jobs. “Print from
SD” is used to select printing files stored on the SD card.
