    Set printer name


    Scroll down to the variable
    PRINTER_NAME. This is the
    alphanumeric identity of this
    printer on your network. By
    default this is set to the serial
    number of the printer, in the
    format of
    3DP3xxxx
    Type in the printer name you
    need for your installation, or
    leave it as the default value.

    Set printer address


    Scroll down to the variable
    PRINTER_ADDRESS. This is
    the IP address of this printer
    on your network. By default
    this is blank, meaning the
    printer will use DHCP
    addressing and request an IP
    address from the server.
    If you are using DHCP, simply
    leave this value blank.
    If you are using a static IP
    address, fill in values for both
    PRINTER_ADDRESS and
    SUBNET_MASK.

    Rezero the Pistons


    During reboot, the printer should rezero the feed and build pistons. As it rezeroes each piston
    it will make a loud buzzing noise for a short while (up to 60 seconds). Once this is complete
    the new zero values are stored in memory.
    If the printer does rezero the pistons, skip the steps below and shut down the printer.
    Disconnect the keyboard and monitor. The printer is ready to be used.
    If it does not rezero the pistons they must be rezeroed manually using the procedure below.
