# Beginner: Preparation

Before starting the Beginner Guides guides, please complete the following steps to ensure your printer is working properly and is connected to your local network.

1. Read the [Critical Warnings](/getting-started/critical-warnings-and-information.md) in the Getting Started chapter of the QuadFusion. This contains useful and important information about what to do and (more importantly) what not to do with your QuadFusion.
2. Follow the [Unboxing & Assembly](https://quadfusion.printm3d.com/~/edit/drafts/-LIRqdq5PX_HDBbChvND/getting-started/accessing-your-sd-card) and [Getting Started ](https://quadfusion.printm3d.com/~/edit/drafts/-LIRqdq5PX_HDBbChvND/getting-started)guides. This will make sure your QuadFusion 3D Print Head is ready to undergo the rigorous Beginners Guide.
3. Continue on to the next guide!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://quadfusion.printm3d.com/beginner-guides/beginner-preparation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
