Using ReplicatorG

Setup
Make sure your computer is connected to your Creator with the supplied USB cable.
Open ReplicatorG by double-clicking the application. The ReplicatorG software will
try to connect to your bot.
If your machine doesn't connect properly, go to the Machine->Machine Type (Driver)
menu in ReplicatorG and choose your configuration. A dual extrusion Creator would
be "The Replicator Dual."
Next go to the Machine->Connection (Serial Port) menu. On Windows, try selecting
the highest-numbered port. Then click the "Connect" button.

The Control Panel

ReplicatorG's control panel is a handy utility that allows you to test all of
functionality. You can access it by clicking on the button with four arrows at the
upper center of ReplicatorG's main screen. From there, you can move the X,Y, and Z
axes, control the heat of your extruders and platform, and move your extruder
motors backward and forward. You can change or load filament by heating up your
extruders and then using the extruder motors.
