Selecting a Job to Build
1. Populate the Job Queue as described within “Before a Build” (page 110).
2. Select the Q
ueue button within the Navigation Menu; the Queue page will open to display
the Job Queue.
3. Within the Job Queue list, locate the job you’d like to build and select it by touching its row
o
n the screen; doing so will open its Job Details page.
4. Within the Job Details page press the P
rint button; this will queue the job for printing.
Depending on your printer’s part placement setting configuration a dialog may be displayed
(see “Part Placement” (page 74)).
• If the Enable Part Placement setting is set to Off (default setting), a dialog will not be
d
isplayed and the job will automatically be built in the center of the substrate.
• If you set the Enable Part Placement setting to On, a dialog will be displayed allowing
y
ou to select the job’s build location (see Figure 26 (page 122)). The dialog contains a
graphic representing your printer’s platen as well as a blue bounding box graphic (the
im
aginary box surrounding the part). Select the job’s build location by dragging and
dropping the bounding box on the touchscreen. When finished, press the Print button
within the dialog to confirm your selected placement and start the build.
5. The Build page will open and the oven will begin to heat to a set point temperature
d
etermined by the material types specified for the job. Please be patient.
6. After the oven and liquefier tips reach temperature the printer performs a Z Zero
C
alibration. "PREPARING" is displayed within the Build Status Display while this calibration
occurs.
7. Once Z Zero Calibration is complete the printer begins building the job. "BUILDING" is
d
isplayed within the Build Status Display as the part is being built (see “Information
Available During a Build” (page 113)).
8. When finished, text is displayed on the touchscreen indicating that the completed part can
b
e removed from the printer (see “After a Build is Complete” (page 118)).
Jobs are built in the order in which they appear within the Job Queue.
To build a specific job, that job must be listed as the first item in the Job Queue.

e the Job Queue Control buttons to sort job files as needed (see “Editing the
Job Queue” (page 50) for details).
