 After installing Pronterface, connect to the printer using Baud 250000, and choose the correct serial port for your printer.

+Then, you can print your file from Pronterface, while monitoring for any error messages.
-If you can't connect to any serial port, you may need to install drivers for the CH340 USB chip. To find your serial port (also known as COM port), unplug the printer, and see which com ports are currently listed. Plug the printer USB cable in, and see if any new COM ports appear. Those will likely be your printer. If you can’t find the right com port, or your device is not detected, you may need to install drivers for the CH340 serial to USB interface chip in the printer. Mac CH340 serial drivers are [[http://sampin.ch/ch340-driver-mac|here]]. PC CH340 serial drivers are [[https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html|here]]. On a mac running high-sierra, I had problems with those mac drivers, and I had a more reliable connection with the mac drivers available for purchase (unfortunately... not free, but someone gotta eat) [[http://mac-usb-serial.com|here]].

+=== Common Errors & Faults ===
 If you see an error about "MIN_TEMP" the printer has detected a temperature that is too low, and it thinks that a sensor is either damaged or missing. For safety, the printer will then refuse to heat up, to prevent burning your house down! There is a broken wire, or loose connection somewhere. Perhaps a leg of the thermistor has broken off, or a cable is detached or loose?
