-==== Starting the 3D Printer ====
 There are two possible states from which to start the 3D Printer: "switched off" and in "standby". Either way starting the 3D Printer is a one-button-only procedure. After the boot sequence the operating screen starts with the [[#print-screen|Print screen]] in IDLE mode.

+===== The web interface =====
+The web interface provides the communication between your PC and the 3D Printer. Uploading print job GCODES to the 3D Printer and creating temperature profiles are the main functions.\\
+You can also check system's information and settings, install firmware updates and download the LOG-file for troubleshooting purposes.\\
+\\
+To open the web interface enter the web interface URL into the address line of your internet browser. You can find the web interface URL on the [[#setup-screen|Setup screen]] of the GUI.\\
+<WRAP clear> </WRAP>
+==== First Steps ====
+This is the start screen of the web interface. Here you find a direct link to the online documentation. In the header of this and all following screens you find live information about the currently active print job, the remaining print time and the status of the 3D Printer.
+[{{reprap-industrial-v1:wi_firststeps_printstarted.png?600|//First Steps// screen of the web interface.}}]
+==== Queue ====
+Print jobs are managed via the //Queue//. Here you can upload GCODES, individaully name, edit, or delete them.
+[{{reprap-industrial-v1:wi_queue_1.png?600|The //Queue// contains list of uploaded print jobs in a top-down order with the last upload first.}}]\\
+[{{reprap-industrial-v1:wi_queue_2.png?600|Uploading print jobs to the //Queue//.}}]
+<WRAP clear> </WRAP>
+To create a print job:
+  - Click [Add Printjob].
+    - Enter the identification (name or number or the like) of the print job in the text field **Name**. This will be shown in the status field during the print job is conducted.
+    - If required, add additional information via the text field **Note**.
+  - Click [Browse] to select a GCODE from the valid directory.
+  - Click [Add] to upload the selected file to the printer. The print job is added to the list as the first entry.\\ Click **[Cancel]** to abort the procedure.
+The print job is now available for printing on your HT500 and can be selected directly for printing via the touchscreen controller on the 3D Printer.\\
+[{{:reprap-industrial-v1:wi_queue_3.png?600|Editing or deleting print jobs from the web interface queue.}}]

+=== Creating temperature profiles ===
+During a print job all necessary temperature data are provided by the respective G-code. For priming the extruders outside a print job the temperature setting required for extruding a material is provided by the //Filament profiles//.\\
+Similarly, precise print bed leveling needs defined bed and chamber temperatures according to the printed material before a G-code is executed. These settings are provided by the //Chamber/Bed Preheating Profiles//.
+\\
+[{{:reprap-industrial-v1:wif_setup_addfilamentprofile.png?600|Filament profile setup via the web interface.}}]
+<WRAP clear/>
+To create a filament profile open the web interface of your 3D Printer, choose the //Setup// menu  and:
+  - Select //Filament Profiles// and click [Add Profile] to set material properties.
+    - Enter the material **Name** in the according input field.
+    - Enter the **Extrusion Temperature** in °C in the according input field.
+  - Click [Add] or press <Enter> to save the settings. The new filament profile is added to the list, newest at the bottom.
+  * To change the settings click [edit] and enter the new properties.
+  * To delete a profile click [remove] and confirm the safety query.

+To create a preheating profile open the web interface of your 3D Printer, choose the //Setup// menu  and:
+  - Select //Chamber/Bed Preheating Profiles// and click [Add Profile] to set material properties.
+    - Enter the profile **Name** in the according input field.
+    - Enter the required **Chamber Temperature** in °C in the according input field.
+    - Enter the necessary **Bed Temperature** in °C in the according input field.
+  - Click [Add] or press <Enter> to save the settings. The new preheating profile is added to the list, newest at the bottom.
+  * To change the settings click [edit] and enter the new properties.
+  * To delete a profile click [remove] and confirm the safety query.
+==== Log ====

 The extrusion properties of any material, although chemically exactly the same, may differ from one filament spool to the other so that it is impossible to determine the correct extrusion multiplier prior to delivery. After leveling the print bed, it is therefore mandatory to calibrate the extrusion to adapt your printer to the installed filament in order to ensure a correct printing performance.
