8. Prime the nozzle/needle and test bioink flow by using the Drop button next to the pressure

setting (Figure 11). Press Print to proceed to the calibration page.

Figure 11:

The Print menu is where you can

preview your print parameters and test the

extrusion rate. You can adjust the param-

eters on this menu. Press Print to proceed

to the Calibration menu. Press Save to save

your configuration as a protocol.
