Selecting a Job to Build
1. Populate the Job Queue as described within “Before a Build” (page 124).
2. Select the Queue 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
on the screen; doing so will open its Job Details page.
4. Within the Job Details page press the Print 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 81)).
• If the Enable Part Placement setting is set to Off (default setting), a dialog will not be
displayed and the job will automatically be built in the center of the build sheet.
• If you set the Enable Part Placement setting to On, a dialog will be displayed allowing
you to select the job’s build location (see Figure 29 (page 136)). The dialog contains a
graphic representing your printer’s platen as well as a blue bounding box graphic (the
imaginary 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
determined 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
Calibration. "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
displayed within the Build Status Display as the part is being built (see “Information
Available During a Build” (page 127)).
8. When finished, text is displayed on the touchscreen indicating that the completed part can
be removed from the printer (see “After a Build is Complete” (page 132)).
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.
Use the Job Queue Control buttons to sort job files as needed (see “Editing the
Job Queue” (page 57) for details).
