BASIC JOB BUILD TASKS
BEFORE A BUILD
To build a job, you must first download job files to the printer and then load individual job files to the Job Queue
using one of two methods:
1. Network transfer via the GrabCAD Print application on your workstation PC. This is the preferred
method for adding jobs to the Job Queue. See “GrabCAD Print Method” on page 51 for detailed
instructions.
2. USB method via a USB flash drive inserted into one of the available USB ports. See “USB
Method” on page 51 for detailed instructions.
The GrabCAD Print option allows you to select a job which was processed and sent to the printer (via your
facility’s Ethernet connection or via Wi-Fi) using the GrabCAD Print application on your workstation PC. Jobs
are sent in CMB format and placed directly into the Job Queue (stored on the printer’s hard drive). The CMB file
contains the processed job’s basic information; this information is used to verify job compatibility with the
printer’s existing configuration. For information on using GrabCAD Print, see the associated Help file within the
GrabCAD Print application.
The USB option allows you to select a job file which is stored on a USB flash drive inserted into one of the
available USB ports (see Figure 3-3 on page 22 for port locations). This method can be used as a backup to the
GrabCAD Print method if you are unable to transfer job files to the printer via your network connection (due to
poor connectivity, a network outage, etc.) and provides a convenient option for you to reprint a common job.
Alternatively, you have the option of selecting a single job file off of a USB flash drive and printing it directly
within the Build page. This option is only available if the Job Queue is empty. See “Loading a File” on page 41
for details.
PREPARING THE PRINTER
To prepare the printer for a build:
1. Power ON the printer (see “Powering ON the Printer” on page 105 for instructions).
2. Open the oven door.
Warning: Wear proper safety equipment when handling items inside the oven as
surfaces within the oven can be very hot.
