Start Printing

1. Place the material inside the machine

2. Before Focusing: Move the printing module above the material. Please ensure you place the Focus block under Ador’s focusing probe for autofocus operation.

*Notice: Do not perform the Autofocus operation without using the Focus block. Doing so can damage the print head.

3. Start Focusing:
Click the focus button on the left side of the machine twice or long-press the "AF" button on the machine panel. In addition, a warning appears on the panel to ensure that the focus block has been placed correctly. Please click "Continue" to proceed. Focusing is complete when the printing module touches the material and moves upward. Ensure that the focus distance is correct before each printing.

Please note the cleaning direction, which should be in one direction; do not wipe back and forth.
