The printer may be turned on with a switch on the rear of the machine. The machine will boot up and may need to update, let it complete this process. Before starting the print, glue needs to be applied to the build plate. Simply lift the build plate off the mount and apply the glue stick (found in the Markforged drawer/box) to the area where the print is located in the software (be sure to account for extra width due to the brim), the back of the plate where the machine will purge (print excess material which has been sitting in the lines and exposed to air), and the corner where the purge tower is located (see image). Place the place back on the mount. The Mark II is read to print.
