1.4 ZPrint/ZEdit Installation

IMPORTANT: To avoid problems that may occur during printing, ensure that all screen savers and

your power management software are turned off on the computer driving your 3D Printer. Most screen

savers and power management software can be turned off in the main Windows screen settings. For

additional instructions on how to disable your hardware and software power management, please con-

sult your computer hardware Owner’s Manual.

NOTE: You must have Administrator rights to install ZPrint correctly.

If you encounter any problems during ZPrint installation, please contact your local Reseller, or visit the

support section of our Web site:

zcentral.zcorp.com.

1. Close all running applications and insert the ZPrint CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. If the installer does not automatically start, double-click on your CD-ROM drive icon. Double-click on

the Setup.exe icon. This starts the ZPrint installation.

3. After Setup.exe is launched, you have the option to install the ZPrint and/or the ZEdit applications.

4. Read the licensing agreement carefully.

5. Select the destination directory. The Setup program prompts you for a selection and will suggest

C:\Program Files\ZPrint Software as the default directory.

6. It takes several minutes for ZPrint to install and then you are returned to the desktop.

• If this is your first time using ZPrint, proceed with the remainder of this chapter to setup ZPrint

defaults for the printer type and printer settings, and to check the powder type.

• If your local Reseller has already setup ZPrint for you, you can skip the remainder of this chapter

and proceed with Chapter 2 ZPrint Main Window.

1.5 Choose The Default Printer

When you run ZPrint for the first time, the Default Printer Type dialog opens where you select the printer

that is connected to the computer running ZPrint, as the default printer.

• Check each printer that is accessible through your network (can be one or more). Each printer you

check will appear in the Powder Settings dialog where you can view the powder settings for that

printer.

• Click the radio button beside the printer you want to designate as the default. Only one printer can

be the default, but you can change the default at any time by reopening this dialog in ZPrint (Set-

tings > Printer Type Settings).

• In the following example, we checked four printers that are available through our network. The

ZPrinter

350 3D Printer is selected as the default.
