computer browser.
Brown – This button, labeled Macro, is used to store custom commands that can
be written and stored via the Duet Webcontrol interface. We include some basic
Macros to help you along your way with setup and calibration (covered in the
next section).

Initial Setup and Calibration

All ICARUS units ship pre-assembled and calibrated. We do ask that all users
follow the steps outlined below to ensure the printer remained in calibration
during transit to its operating destination. By this time, you should have the
printer unwrapped, accessories and parts on hand, and have a good
understanding of its components. At this time the unit should be out of shrink
wrap, accessories identified, and at its final destination for operation.

Leveling the Machine

Using the supplied bubble level, wrench, and the stabilizer feet on the
bottom. Level the machine with the earth. You will level all four sides: front, left,
right, and back from the top of the machine. Do this by placing the bubble level
on the top of the machine and adjusting the stabilizer feet as needed. During this,
the stabilizer feet will be lowered and the casters raised in the air. As a friendly
reminder, from the factory, the spool holder is on the left of machine – please
ensure this has clearance to be mounted.
