 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. There are two possible states from which to start the 3D printer: "​switched off" and in "​standby"​.
