The system automatically checks your models and detects all the problems that might influence printing. The detected printability issues are shown in the Printability issues section when you press Print to send the job to the printer. When printability issues are detected, the Send Job to Printer button is deactivated and the job cannot be sent to the printer.
The detected issues are marked either yellow or red:
- Yellow indicates non-critical errors. In this case, printing is possible however not recommended.
- Red indicates critical errors.
The most common printability issues are provided in the table below.
