How to Connect 3D Printer to Computer HP Jet Fusion 5200 Tutorials

The HP Jet Fusion 5200 connections provides a single RJ-45 port for a network connection. In order to meet Class B specifications, the use of shielded I/O cables is required. For optimal performance, you are recommended to use Cat 5/5e or Cat 6 cabling and gigabit-capable local network equipment.
A correct network setup is required to operate the printer, as all communication with printing and management software happens through the network.

HP Jet Fusion 5200 Products may collect Customer Machine Data. The customer grants HP and/or an HP authorized agent permission to remotely access, via the HP 3D software, the Customer Machine Data from Products. The Customer Machine Data will be used by HP and/or an HP authorized agent for the purpose of providing remote support, enabling enhanced diagnostics, preventive maintenance, software updating, calculating supplies and consumables usage and statistics, and evaluating improvements to HP’s products and offerings in the future. In addition, the Customer Machine Data will help HP determine how Products are being used, which product features are used the most, and to calculate various aggregate Product usage statistics.
●HP and/or HP authorized agents respect your privacy, are committed to protecting Customer Machine Data, and will take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure and ensure the appropriate use of Customer Machine Data. In the event that some data may be categorized as individual level data, HP and/or HP authorized agents will maintain the privacy of any such data, as well as all data collected, in accordance with the HP Privacy Statement ( http://www.hp.com/go/privacy) and the Personal Data Rights Notice (http://welcome.hp.com/country/privacy/privacynotice) where applicable.

HP Jet Fusion 5200 Network Configuration


Your network configuration requires some configuration. Here HP Jet Fusion 5200 User Guide 3D Printer Manual To access the network settings, tap the Connectivity icon and then the Settings icon on the printer's front panel.

Hostname
You can assign a customized hostname to the printer. If the network infrastructure supports it, the printer will attempt to register the hostname to the DNS service, making it possible to address the printer using the hostname rather than the IP address. Similarly, you can assign the domain suffix, to define the printer’s fully qualified domain name.

IPv4 configuration
You can let the printer try to discover the IPv4 network settings automatically using the DHCP protocol, or choose to configure them manually.

The IPv4 settings include:
●IP address: The unique Internet Protocol address assigned to the printer.
●Subnet mask: The mask corresponding to the printer’s IP address.
●Default gateway: The IP address of the network gateway.
●DNS configuration method: Whether DNS servers should be assigned by DHCP service or manually.
●Primary and secondary DNS servers: The IP addresses of the DNS servers.

Link speed
When connected and powered on, the printer auto-negotiates with your network to operate with a link speed of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, and to communicate using full- or half-duplex mode.
However, you can manually configure the link using the printer's front panel, or through other configuration tools once network communication is established.

The embedded network controller supports connection to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet, and 802.3ab 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet compliant networks.

HP Jet Fusion 5200 Troubleshooting
Some suggestions in case you have trouble configuring your network connection successfully.

Link issues
The printer has status lights (LEDs) beside the network connector that indicate the link status and network activity.
●When the green light is on, the printer has successfully linked to the network.
●When the yellow light is blinking, there is transmission activity over the network.

If the HP Jet Fusion 5200 fails to connect to the network, both LEDs will be off. In this situation, try the following tutorial steps:
1.Check the cable connections at both ends.
2.Consider replacing the cables with ones that are known to work.
3.Consider switching to another network connector in the network switch, hub, or device to which the printer is connected.
4.Manually configure the link setting to match the port configuration of the network hub or switch.
5.In case of doubt or of link settings, reset the network parameters to their factory settings.

HP Jet Fusion 5200 Restore factory settings


In the case of accidental, you can reset the network settings to the factory defaults.
Tap Restore factory settings in the Network Settings configuration menu.

The printer cannot interpret a 3D image file directly: you must use software to convert it into a format that the printer is designed to accept.

Introduction HP MJF 5200 user guide

You can create a print job using HP SmartStream Build Manager or various third-party programs.
HP SmartStream 3D Build Manager supports STL and 3MF files.
The 3D software creates slices that the printer can convert to layers in order to prepare the job. This preparation process may take from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the complexity of the job. It can be done while printing other jobs. Once ready, you can select the job to be printed from the job queue on the printer’s front panel. If an error occurs while processing, a message appears on the front panel, and the printer cancels the job. To retry, you have to resubmit the job.
The rest of this chapter may help you to avoid such errors.

File preparation
Tips to helpHow to Connect 3D Printer to Computer HP Jet Fusion 5200 Tutorials when you prepare files for printing.

Tessellation
Before sending a job to a 3D printer, the model to be printed needs to be tessellated. That means that its geometry needs to be converted into triangles, which are used by the printer to create layers.
It is very important to pay attention to this step: if not done correctly, it can cause problems such as inaccuracy or slow processing.
Standard formats in the additive manufacturing industry include 3MF (with more information about the model) and STL.
A normal file size for a model is about 1–30 MB, but the size depends on the type of software that created it, the number of triangles, the number and level of details, and so on.
When exporting to STL in a CAD package, you are often required to introduce some parameters such as angle tolerance and deviation chord height. These parameters define the resolution and file size of the part. The following tips may help you to export with the best surface to file size ratio.

Solid Designer settings
Solid Designer is one of the available software options.
Save as STL, click Options, and check the ASCII option. The recommended values for the Distance and Angle box are 0.05 and 1.
