+===== 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.
