Never turn on the heating bed while operating in standby mode!
After some time, the printer will switch into DRY-Run mode, so that you
must restart the device if you want to start a new print job
2. 2. Operating modes of the X 1000
The X1000 provides various modes that enable you to perform dierent functions depending on your
current task.
2.1 Red/ Stand-by
When the X1000 is connected to the mains you can reach the stand-by mode by turning on the printer
using the key. After a short initialization phase the startup screen appears on the LCD display and the red
light will light up.
X1000 Standby
In this mode, you can keep the lid of the X1000 open and heat up the extruder heads and let material
extrude simultaneously. All other functions (like traversing the axis) are blocked for safety reasons. In
addition, the standby mode allows you thread new laments easily, to clean the nozzle or even to replace
it completely. Furthermore, the Repetier server is already booted when operating in standby mode, this
means that you can already upload G-codes to the X1000.

2.3 Two-hand circuit/removal position
After successfully completing a large 3d print you can lift the printing bed up to access is more easily using
the two-hand circuit.
2.2 Green/ work mode
To switch from standby mode to work mode to w After successfully booting the X1000 you must rst close
its lid. Then you must press the green switch underneath the LCD display.
When the green switch is light up the lid will be locked automatically
and the device is now ready to start a 3D print.

To do this, proceed as follows:
• Switch into standby mode by pressing the red button
• Open the maintenance lid
• Execute the order “home z” via LCD display or web browser
• The device will stand completely still
• Now press the two blue buttons shown on the picture above simultaneously
• The axes will traverse as long as both buttons are pushed, but not further than the machine zero

Allow the building platform to cool down, the object will be much
easier to remove.
The X1000 has two machine zeros. Besides the actual one the other
one is located half way up the building platform. When operating the
two-hand circuit this prevent pushing the printed object into the main-
tenance lid.
2.4 Emergency stop
If you press the emergency stop, the printer will shut down immediately.
Warning: RISK OF BURN:
The heating bed as well as the extruder heads will remain hot even
some time after an emergency shut down!
2.5 Maintenance mode
When operating in maintenance mode, it is possible to work with an open maintenance lid. This mode is
intended for repair and maintenance work only!
The maintenance mode must be set up by a trained professional only!

3. Network and printer set up
To establish a connection with the X1000 you must rst check your computer´s network settings and adapt
them, if necessary. The you can launch the setup routine and put the printer into operation.
3.1 Connection via router
If necessary, contact your network administrator about integrating the
X1000 into your network.
If your network settings are DHCP based, the X1000 is automatically assigned an IP address. If this is the case
the X100 just has to be connected through a patch cable to your network.
Then you can see the printer´s assigned IP address as well as the MAC address on the LCD display.
3.2 Direct connection
To establish a direct connection between the X1000 and your computer you must proceed as follows:
• In the computer´s control panel navigate to network settings
• Click on the network adapter the X1000 is connected to

3.3 Setup routine
To congure your 3d printer afterwards you must launch the setup routine. Enter the pre-assigned ip
address of your 3d printer into your browser to establish a connection. The rst step of the set up routine
will appear thereafter :
• 192.168.1.1/setup.php
If you already assigned an ip address to your printer and you want to
restart the setup routine, you must use your new ip to establish a connec-
tion XXX.XXX.X.X/setup.php .
Step 1:
In the rst step, you chose the language of the installation assistant
