Safety and Compliance
Radio and Television Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules.
These limits are designed toprovide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is noguarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The following booklet compiled by FCC may help you:“How to Identify and Resolve
Radio-TV Interference Problems‖

1. About Geeetech 3D WiFi Module
1.1 Introduction
Geeetech developed 3D WiFi Module, with the only aim of enabling all the 3D printing
hobbyists to control their printer wirelessly. 3D WiFi Module is mainly composed of two
parts: control board and Wi-Fi module. Thumb-size as it is, it is powerful enough to connect
your 3D printer with Geeetech’s cloud server, making it a reality for you to control your
device on EasyPrint 3D App.
3D WiFi Module is ready to use right out of box. You just need to connect your printer
to its USB port and finish simple configurations on EasyPrint 3D App. That’s all. Then you
can start to control your printer wirelessly.
3D WiFi Module is cloud-based.Via EasyPrint 3D App, it is extremely simple and
convenient to direct control over your printer anywhere and anytime. Besides, you would
have access to a large cloud gallery, which covers 9 categories of 3D models for printing.
What’s more exciting is that you could record and share your printing moments on EasyPrint
3D App in seconds.
3D WiFi Module is broadly compatible with many different kinds of 3D printers on the
market. As long as the USB to serial chip of your printer belongs to one of these three ones
(CH340, FT232 and PL2303) and is controlled by G.code instructions, our 3D WiFi Module
can upgrade your machine as Wi-Fi enabled and make it comparable to other prohibitively
expensive Wi-Fi connected 3D printers.
Coded professionally and adopting high-performance chips, 3D WiFi Module could
transmit model files and your commands to your printer in a stable and reliable way.

1.2 Main Features of 3D WiFi Module
As a bridge for data transmission between mobile phone and 3D printer, 3D WiFi
module integrates some instructions, convenient for users directing control over 3D printer
from App. Besides, it is compatible with the feedback info from 3D printer to control the
printer and display the related printing data on App.
In this section, a brief introduction to its main features is made to help get a better
knowledge of how 3D WiFi module works.
a. Config mode: Long press the hole labeled with “set”with a pin about 3s, until the
Wi-Fi indicator light turns dim and flickers quickly. Loosen the pin and 3D Wi-Fi will enter
the config mode. In the config mode, you can finish the Wi-Fi connectivity onApp.
b. When the Wi-Fi indicator light flickers quickly and you do not loosen the pin, the
light will flicker slowly to enter the reset mode. In the reset mode, your phone could not
detect GT_printer hotspot.
c. When the network is not stable, 3D WiFi module will re-connect the hotspot
automatically.

In the following part, a detailed introduction to the App menu will be made.
1.3 Tips for Using 3D WiFi Module
* Make sure 3D WiFi module and 3D printer could communicate smoothly with your
USB cable. If not, please contact with [email protected], we will help you pair the basic
firmware with your USB interface.
* Ensure that M26, M27, M110, M114, M119 commands are valid and of correct format,
so that EasyPrint 3D App could display the printing status normally and operations via App,
such as stopping printing and leveling the building platform, are available.
M26, M27, M110 is related to the display and modification of printing status and
parameters on App, when the printer runs with SD card or TF card. M114 and M119 for
leveling the building platform.
If the format of these commands is not in alignment with what is shown in the following
table, please make the corresponding modification.
*You can use serial debugging tools or Repetier-host to send these commands to your
3D printer to test how your machine responds.
M26
Start printing from a specific byte of a g.code file, which is being printed.
G.code: M26 Snnn. ―nnn‖for the numbers.
M27
Obtain info of printing progress.
G.code: M27; Return: ―SD printing byte nnn/nnn‖
M110
Set the line sequence, for instance, the present line No. is nnn, and the next
line should be nnn+1.
G.code: Nnnn M110
M114
The present coordinates for X/Y/Z/E.
G.code: M114; Return: ―X: nnn Y: nnn Z:nnn E: nnn‖
M119
G.code: M119
Return: eg. ―x_min: H y_min:H z_min:L‖
Or ―x_min:OPEN x_max:TRIGGERED y_min: OPEN y_max: TRIGGERED
z_min:TRIGGERED z_max: OPEN‖
