2. Check that network-provider connectivity type and signal level is displayed on the top bar.
3. If you see the message Starting up, restart your tablet (or other control-panel device).
4. For normal use of the control panel, set Chrome to Full screen display.
Prepare the RTS
The Robotic Total Station requires some setup before use.
Preliminary considerations
● Check that the RTS has software and licenses suitable for use with the HP SitePrint Robot.
● Take some time to plan the job, keeping in mind the drawing, the printing area, the position of the
reference targets, and visibility. This will probably save time overall.
● HP highly recommends placing the RTS at a position with visibility of at least three control points.
● HP also recommends that the control points are further from the RTS than the printing area.
● If possible, choose control points that form angles of around 60° from the position of the RTS.
● When aiming at a reflective tape target, avoid angles of less than 45° between the visual and the
target plane.
1. Turn on the RTS.
2. Level the RTS in whatever way is required by that particular model.
See the RTS documentation, which you can download from
https://siteprint.hp.com/app/learningwebsite, in the Total Station category.
3. For a setup from the RTS by resection, enter the control points into the internal memory first.
4. Set up the RTS by resection or orientation to a line using the user-interface tools or your RTS.
5. When you are ready, aim the prism approximately, tap Scan, then lock the prism.
Set up communication between robot and RTS
The robot and the RTS need to communicate with each other.
