This chapter shows a brief description of the wizard. Please note that the screenshots are illustrative and might differ from those in the firmware.
Make sure you are running Firmware 4.7.0 or newer
You can download firmware updates in Downloads. The guide for updating the firmware is in How to update firmware (MK4/XL).
Some parts of the wizard must be done multiple times, this depends on the number of tool-heads. For example:
Dock Calibration
Loadcell calibration
Filament sensor calibration

Preparing the printer
Make sure that the printer is placed in a stable place where no ambient vibrations are transmitted (for example, where other printers are printing).
From the rear side of the printer, plug in the PSU cable.
Turn the power switch ON (symbol "I").

After the printer starts up, the screen prompts for the printer test and setup wizard.
The wizard will test all important components of the printer. The whole process takes a few minutes. Some parts of the wizard require direct user interaction. Follow the instruction on the screen.
NOTE: While testing the axes, make sure that there is nothing in the printer that is obstructing the movement of the axes.
WARNING: Do not touch the printer during the wizard unless prompted! Some parts of the printer may be HOT and moving at high speed.

After the upgrade, we need to recalibrate the filament sensors.
Your printer should have no filament at all.
Please proceed through the filament sensor calibration. Follow the instructions on the display.
Select NO, your printer has no filament at all.
Wait for the printer to prompt you to insert the filament into the side filament sensor.
Proceed to the next step.

Reward yourself!
Reward yourself!
It looks like you have successfully assembled and connected everything. No doubt ;). Congratulations! You deserve a big reward for that. Eat all the remaining gummy bears... and don't forget to share with those who supported you during the assembly.
Did you know that Haribo gummy bears are one of the most important parts of the Original Prusa printers assembly instructions.

This step is intended only for the semi-assembled printer version. If you have an assembled version, skip this step.
In this step, we will make sure the Heatbed is installed correctly
Using the T10 screwdriver, slightly loosen all screws on the sides of the bed-frame. A few turns are enough.
Visit the menu Control > Move Axis and adjust the Move Z value to the lowest position.
Leave the heatbed for a few seconds until it settles in the lowest position.
While in the lowest position, tighten all screws using the T10 screwdriver.
