Networking the printer
There are two methods of connecting your printer to your computer, over a network and a direct connection
to your PC. This section describes how to set up communication over a network. For instructions on setting
up a direct PC connection, see
You will need to establish communication between your PC and printer before you can send files to be
built. How you establish this communication is dependent upon how your computer network is configured.
In many cases, it is a simple matter of letting the CatalystEX software find your printer. In some situations
you may need to set the network address for your printer and possibly record the IP address in the
CatalystEX program.
Establishing communication on a dynamic network:
If you are on a dynamic network (or not sure of your network type) follow these steps to allow CatalystEX to
'find' your printer and establish communication.
1. Connect a network cable from your printer the network PC is connected to. See
network cable:" on page 20
2. Make sure the printer is 'ON' and determine the Unique Device Name (UDN) for your printer.
A. From Idle (or Ready to Build), press Maintenance on the display panel. The display will show
Maintenance and the software version.
B. From the display panel press System.
C. From the display panel press Set Network. The top window displays: Network Admin - Dynamic
IP Address; UDN.
D. The UDN for your printer is listed here. This is preset at the factory and cannot be changed.
3. From your PC, start the CatalystEX application.
A. From the General Tab, click the Manage 3D Printers button.
B. Click the Add from Network button in the lower right corner of the pop-up window.
C. A new pop-up, Add 3D Printer, should list your printer in the main window (identified by its UDN).
Click on the printer in this window and enter a name and location in the lower portion of the pop-up
window.
D. Click Add Printer and you are ready to print. Close the 3D Printer pop-up window.
