2 WORK PREPARATION (DESKTOP 3D SYSTEM)
The following installation and testing instructions only apply to machines with a parallel interface and the control
software UCCNC. For buyers of the machine with an USB port together with the control software WinPC-NC, ask
for the appropriate documentation.
2.1 INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
