Hi,
in the chapter settling up the printer, the images depict a red and black wire coming from the supply cable to go directly into the board. The supplied cable i have, has a white center and black outer wire, both pretinned. Which wire is positive?

thanks for your help.

cheers

Logic tells me the white one is the positive and the black one the negative but you’d better check with a multimeter.

Thanks for the reply. I also think it must be the white one. Is there anyone who can officially tell me what it is though and should the instructions be updated for others?

cheers

I take it from your answer that you don’t own a multimeter?

But a DVM is mandatory to adjust the motor controllers before you can use your printer…

White is positive, black is negative.

Thanks for the reply.

I do have a multimeter, it’s just that I am still learning electronics and I want to be confident in what I am seeing and the best approach to solving issues.

I appreciate the help.

Cheers
