System Startup Notes
Important: It is recommended to complete system configuration (WiFi, SSH, screen, etc.) before first system startup to avoid configuration issues after boot.
For detailed configuration guidance, please refer to: System Configuration Options
Before starting, completely shut down the printer and disconnect the power supply. Do not plug or unplug wiring harnesses, organize interface cable routing, or touch terminals while the system is powered on.
- Use the input interface, voltage, and power specified in the corresponding product documentation. Do not directly apply power parameters from other host boards or motherboards to the current device.
- Maintain stable power supply during first startup and system expansion; insufficient power may cause startup failure, storage card corruption, or expansion interruption.
- The FPC screen cable must be connected only after the device is completely powered off, and confirm the interface orientation is correct.
