ZPrint™ Software Manual The Printer Status Dialog (ZPrinter 350/450/650

11/30/09

7.1.1 Status Dialog - ZPrinter 350 Only

In the example above, the Printer Status dialog on the left is ready for printing. Notice that each item

shows OK and the Print button is enabled. From here you would choose your Print Job Options and click

Print to start the job. Before the printer starts printing your file, it will first:

• fill the Build Bed with powder

• print a Purge Block (if the print head is new)

• spread a layer to ensure the Build Bed surface is smooth

• service the print head

If there are not enough materials to complete the job, or the printer is not properly prepared, messages

appear similar to the example on the right above. When any one of these messages appears, the Print

button is disabled. The remainder of this chapter describes how to clear a message in the Printer Status

dialog and start the build.
