PRINTER CONNECTION

Driver and software installation instructions for Windows.

From March 2014 ZMorph personal fabricators don’t require drivers. The new firmware supports
USB communication (as HID device) and internal SD drive natively, without any necessary files.

It is recommended to open

Device Manager (if using Windows),
and monitor installation there.

You should see ‘ZMorph HID’ and ‘ZMorph
MSD’ appear during the process.

After automatic installation

a new disk drive should be discovered,
where all configuration and firmware-
related files are stored. The disk can
also store g-codes for printing.

USB CONNECTIVITY

Just

plug USB cable

and wait until all devices are discovered
by your system.
