4.4 Printing
When a print job is selected, either remotely or via USB, the UltiMaker S7 will automatically prepare for printing.
This can take several minutes and includes the following processes:
• Preheating. The print cores and build plate will heat up according to the material settings.
• Active leveling. The print cores will probe the build plate in several locations to create a detailed height map.
This information will be used to ensure optimal adhesion of the print.
In combination with a Material Station, all materials are in a pre-loaded state. When a print job is started, the
required materials are automatically forwarded to the print head. The UltiMaker S7 will prime the materials.
Keepthedoorclosedduringprintingforsafetyandoptimalairmanagement.Neverreachintothe
UltiMaker S7 while the printer is in operation.
