Configuration
Start the software WinPCNC.
From the Start menu choose language and machine type.
The specification of the correct type of machine is very important because the software
automatically loads all important parameters for the selected type of machine.
The communication between PC and Zero-3 is controlled depending on the software version on the
LPT, USB or serial interface.
In WinPCNC USB installation and configuration is complete. In this version WinPCNC determines
the interface automatically.
With other versions yet the interface or port address of the PC must be determined on which the
communication runs.

Determination of the LPT interface (Light and Economy)
With the variants "Light" and "Economy" the LPT port or the port address must be entered in
WinPCNC (see page 17).
Some computers have multiple LPT ports, so that the right one first has to be found out. If the
interfaces are not marked on the PC, you need to find out which interface you have connected to the
control.
