+===== 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.

+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.\\
