__NOTOC__The 3D Printer Setup Wizard guides the user through the process of configuring a printer profile for use with a 3D printer in MatterControl.

== First screen ==

[[File:3D Printer Setup Wizard1.png|right]]The first screen of the wizard allows the user to select an existing pre-configured profile.

=== Make ===

The list of 3D printer manufacturers for which profiles are available.

=== Model ===

The list of models available from the currently-selected Make.

=== Name ===

A field in which the user can specify a custom name for the printer in the current instance of MatterControl. The Make and Model populate this field by default.

=== Save & Continue ===

This button will appear when valid selections and entries have been made. Clicking will create the new printer configuration, and if MatterControl is signed in to a [[MatterHackers.com account]], will associate the configuration with the account.

=== Cancel ===

Exits the wizard without creating a new printer configuration.

<br clear=all>

== Install Communication Driver ==

[[File:3D Printer Setup Wizard2.png|right]]If running the Windows version of MatterControl, the next step is to install drivers so MatterControl can communicate with the printer. On Mac, Linux, and Android this step is not shown.

MatterControl will launch a separate installer (Infinstaller.exe) which may require administrative permissions.

=== Install Driver ===

Launches Infinstaller.exe and installs the drivers.

=== Skip ===

Proceed to the next step without installing drivers.

=== Cancel ===

Exits the wizard without connecting to the printer.

<br clear=all>

== Printer Connection ==

[[File:3D Printer Setup Wizard3.png|right]]In this step MatterControl will attempt to connect to the printer. Follow the instructions and click the applicable button.

=== Manually Configure Connection / Manual Configuration ===

Proceed to the '''[[#Serial Ports]]''' screen.

=== Skip Connection Setup ===

Exits the wizard without connecting to the printer.

=== Continue ===

Proceed to the next step in the connection process.
