CHAPTER 1. GET CONNECTED TO THE POLAR CLOUD

19

11. The printer is now connected and ready to

print! See Chapter

2

for an example of performing

a first print through the Polar Cloud!

Note that if you wish, you may use the Polar

Cloud printer management interface to change the
printer’s name and enter a longer text description
and location for the printer: perhaps describing the
printer’s location, its primary intended purpose, the
class for whose use it is intended,

etc.

; see Section

9.2.2

:

Printer settings: name, description, location,

and make of printer

of the

Polar Cloud Guide

.

1.2

Connecting the Polar3D printer to the
Polar Cloud via Ethernet cable

Connecting the printer to your network via an Ethernet cable
is similar in functionality, from a Polar Cloud perspective, as a
wireless connection. The only difference is in the portability of
the printer, as with an Ethernet cable connection, the printer
will be physically connected to the network.

Perform

steps 1 through 4

from Section

1.1

.

But instead of

steps 5 through 8

from Section

1.1

, simply plug

in the Ethernet cable to both the printer, and to an Ethernet
jack for your local network. If the

POLAR

3D

LED lights on

the printer become blue over white, it indicates that your printer
has successfully connected to the Polar Cloud!

However, if the printer could not successfully connect to the

Polar Cloud, see Section

1.4

: you may need to enter a

static IP
