Changing your printer's display name (Form 4 and Form 4L generation)
Starting with firmware version 1.14.0 or later, you can set a custom display name for your Form 4 or Form 4L generation printer, making it easier to identify the machine. Once set, the custom name appears in PreForm, on Dashboard, and on the printer’s touchscreen.
- On the printer's touchscreen, tap Settings > General > About this printer. By default, the display name is the last part of your printer’s serial name (e.g., AdjectiveAnimal, without the printer designation).
- Tap Display name. The Enter display name screen appears.
- Using the onscreen keyboard, enter a custom name up to 20 characters in length.
- Tap the check mark. The printer saves the display name and displays the message Display name set successfully. Once set, the display name appears in the status bar at the top of the touchscreen.
Tip:
You can also see your printer’s display name in PreForm and Dashboard. You may need to restart PreForm for the change to be visible.
