Setup Set up the printer and material bay(s) per assembly instructions included with printer. Installing software There are two software programs that work with HP Designjet 3D and HP Designjet Color 3D: 1. HP Designjet 3D Software Solution, installed on your workstation, processes the STL files for printing and communicates with the printer from your workstation. 2. System firmware, the operating software installed on the printer, controls printer functions. Installing HP Designjet 3D Software Solution: 1. Locate the Startup DVD from startup kit and insert into workstation (PC). 2. Click the Install HP Designjet 3D Software Solution: button. 3. Follow prompts to finish loading HP Designjet 3D Software Solution on the workstation. Installing firmware to the workstation: 1. Click the Install Firmware button to load firmware to your workstation. You will be asked to load this firmware to your printer later. 2. Follow prompts to finish installing firmware on the workstation. 3. Install firmware to the printer, see "Installing Firmware on printer" on page 12 Networking the printer There are two methods of connecting your printer to your workstation, over a network or with a direct connection to your workstation. Connecting through a network: 1. Locate the network cable (blue) from the startup kit. 2. Connect the network cable between the printer and the network hub. Connecting directly to a workstation: 1. Locate the crossover cable (orange) from the startup kit. 2. Connect the crossover cable between the printer and the network port on your workstation. Establishing communication with the printer You will need to establish communication between your workstation and printer before you can send files to be built. How you establish this communication is dependent upon how your workstation network is configured. In many cases, it is a simple matter of allowing the HP Designjet 3D Software Solution to find your printer. In some situations you may need to set the network address for your printer and record the IP address in the HP Designjet 3D Software Solution. 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 HP Designjet 3D Software Solution to find your printer and establish communication. 1. Connect a network cable between the printer and a network hub. 9

Networking the printer
There are two methods of connecting your printer to your workstation, over a network or with a direct
connection to your workstation.
Connecting through a network:
1.
Locate the network cable (blue) from the startup kit.
2.
Connect the network cable between the printer and the network hub.
Connecting directly to a workstation:
1.
Locate the crossover cable (orange) from the startup kit.
2.
Connect the crossover cable between the printer and the network port on your workstation.

You will need to establish communication between your workstation and printer before you can send files
to be built. How you establish this communication is dependent upon how your workstation network is
configured. In many cases, it is a simple matter of allowing the HP Designjet 3D Software Solution to find
your printer. In some situations you may need to set the network address for your printer and record the IP
address in the HP Designjet 3D Software Solution.
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 HP Designjet
3D Software Solution to find your printer and establish communication.
