OVERVIEW

The User Interface is composed of a touchscreen located on the front right face of the printer (see
page 20). Each page of the UI is composed of two main areas of functionality; these items are highlighted in
Figure 4-1.

The touchscreen is designed to reduce glare; therefore, it is best to view the touchscreen when standing in front
of the printer with the screen to your right. Viewing the touchscreen from any other angle may inhibit a clear view
of the screen's display. The touchscreen is easy to use and allows you to:
• Access material load, unload, and calibration functions.
• Monitor printer status.
• Monitor material/head statuses (types loaded/installed, spool volumes, head odometers, etc.) and
change materials and/or heads when necessary.
• Monitor build progress (name of job being built, materials usage information, estimated completion
time, etc.).
• Access network configuration information and change printer defaults.
• Access the Job Queue and Sample Queue (internal storage).
