Printing CNC Program Code

In NCPlayer, you can print G-code text directly from your browser. This is useful for sending the CNC program to the shop floor, archiving, or reviewing on paper.

How to Print a Program

1. Open the desired CNC program in the NCPlayer editor (load a file, choose a demo, or create a new one).
2. In the top menu, select File → Print. When using the system shortcut Ctrl + P (Windows/Linux) / ⌘ + P (macOS), printing will also include visible buttons, which may look incorrect.

3. In the system print dialog, select a printer and, if necessary, adjust settings: paper size, orientation, margins, and scale.

4. Click Print.

Features and Recommendations

• Printing is handled by the browser’s built-in tools; only the G-code text from the editor will be printed, without control panels or 3D/2D visualization.
• To save to a file instead of printing, choose the printer option “Save as PDF”.
• For better readability, you can use formatting tools before printing: align spaces, renumber blocks, remove unnecessary content, normalize G/M/T codes, and adjust the block end character ;.
• It is recommended to run a short simulation before printing to check the toolpath and program logic.
