Printing with the Graphic LCD
screen; these will give you current temperatures, tool head coordinates,
print status, and more. The different numbered sections of the status screen
are shown in Figure 3.1 above. Follow the key below for more information
on each section.
1. Hot end temperatures: represents the current temperature (bottom)
and set temperature (top) of up to three nozzles.
2. Heat bed temperature: represents the current temperature (bottom)
and set temperature (top) of the heat bed.
3. Fan speed: represents the current optional extruder fan speed. The
fan is set to off (1%) by default; this function is not used by the TAZ
printer. If you later modify your TAZ printer to use an extruder-
mounted print-cooling fan, this status indicator will come into use. If
cooling is turned on in Slic3r, this portion of the display will change
to reflect the .g-code embedded extruder fan control instructions.
4. Tool head coordinates: represents the current tool head coordinates
on the X, Y, and Z axes.
5. Feed rate: represents the current feed rate setting. The feed rate is set
to 100% by default; this matches the speed set in the gcode generation.
When on, the status screen selection knob can be turned to increase
or decrease the feed rate during the print. Increasing/decreasing the
feed rate will increase/decrease the speed of the print.
6. Printer status: lists the current status of the printer including: SD
card status, current printing file, or completed print time.
7. Current print time: lists the length of time for the current print job.
8. Progress bar: represents the progress of the current print job. The
print is finished when the bar is completely white.

To navigate through the LCD menu use the selection knob by rotating

From the main Status screen, press the knob to move into the menu screen
