REPETIER HOST SETTINGS TO REPETIER SERVER WINDOWS
The latest windows versions skip this step, because the installer already created a work directory for you. You can select any directory, where you have write privileges, but it is advised to use a separate directory for this purpose. The work directory is, where the host will put temporary stl files, sliced results and if enabled the log file. The next step should be, to configure your printer so you can connect your computer with the host. Make sure your printer is connected and enabled.
REPETIER HOST SETTINGS TO REPETIER SERVER DRIVERS
Some printer need special driver to access the device, so make sure the drivers are also installed. If you have uploaded the firmware to your printer, the driver is already installed. Go to the menu “Config”->”Printer Settings” or klick the button. You will see a window like this:Īt the top you see a drop down box, with the currently selected printer. At the start you have only the default printer. To create a new printer you only need to change the printer name and press “Apply”. The new printer will start with the same settings as the last selected printer.īelow the drop down box you see four tabs with most off the data stored with the printer configuration. In addition to this, for each configuration a start/end/pause/kill and five user defines scripts are stored with configuration. These can be changed in the g-code editor, which is described in a different chapter.
REPETIER HOST SETTINGS TO REPETIER SERVER HOW TO
In this first tab, you set how to connect with your printer. In “Port” you select the port, where your printer is connected. At the opening of the window, all available ports were scanned and added to the list. If you connect your printer when this menue is already open, klick “Refresh Ports” to detect the new port. Then select the baud rate entered into the firmware. Stop bits and parity are correct for 99,9% of the printer, so leave them untouched. The transfer protocol determines, how the host will communicate with the printer. All supported firmwares work in ASCII mode. The Repetier-Firmware also supports a binary format. Less computation time needed for the firmware to parse the data.You can leave this on “Auto detect”, which will automatically switch to binary format if Repetier-Firmware is detected. For all other firmwares, the ASCII communication is used. The next decision is, how to send data to the firmware. The method that was planned with the first firmwares works like ping-pong. The host send a command and waits for the firmware to return an ok. This causes latencies, which can result in empty buffers if you have many small moves. To improve speed, you can allow the host to send more then one command at once. As long as you are sending not more then the size of the buffer, you can send more then one command if they fit into the buffer. So if you disable the ping-pong mode, the host will send up to “Receive cache size” bytes, before it waits for the ok, telling him that the command is processed.

If you are unsure on the printer buffer size select 63, which works on all printers.
