Installing software
There are two software programs that work with uPrint and uPrint Plus:
1. CatalystEX, installed on your workstation, processes the STL files for printing and communicates
with the printer from your workstation.
2. System firmware, the operating software installed on the printer, controls printer functions.
Installing CatalystEX:
1. Locate the Startup CD from startup kit and insert into workstation (PC).
2. Click the Install CatalystEX:
button.
3. Follow prompts to finish loading CatalystEX on the workstation.
Installing firmware to the workstation:
1. Click the Install Firmware button to load firmware to your workstation. You will be asked to
load this firmware to your printer later.
2. Follow prompts to finish installing firmware on the workstation.
3. Install firmware to the printer, see “Installing Firmware on printer” on page 14
Networking the printer
There are two methods of connecting your printer to your workstation, over a network or with a
direct connection to your workstation.
Connecting through a network:
1. Locate the network cable (blue) from the startup kit.
2. Connect the network cable between the printer and the network hub.
3. Establish communication, see “Establishing communication on a dynamic network:” on page
11 if you have a dynamic network, or see “Establishing communication on a static network:”
on page 11 if you have a static network.
Connecting directly to a workstation:
1. Locate the crossover cable (orange) from the startup kit.
