SHUTTING DOWN PRINTER
WARNING: SWITCHING OFF OR DISCONNECTING THE PRINTER’S POWER WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE
SHUTDOWN PROCESS PROPERLY CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE THE PRINTER. ALWAYS PERFORM SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURES BEFORE SWITCHING OFF PRINTER’S POWER OR UNLESS POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED
IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS.
• The printer can take several hours to warm up after being shutdown and switched off. Before shutdown and switching off,
verify that the need to build parts is not a factor.
NOTE: It is recommended to leave your printer in either standby or conserve mode instead of shutting down if
the printer is to be used within 7 to 10 days of last build.
Printer Modes
Standby 15 Min.
Conserve 25 Min.
Initial Pwr Up 90 Min.
• After printer is idle 2 hours or 72 hours, it enters Standby or Conserve mode, respectively. In these energy-saving states, the
printer’s heaters are partially cooled and many other components are disabled. The heaters are cooler in Conserve mode
more than Standby mode. It takes less time for the printer to warm up from Standby or Conserve mode than it does from full
shutdown/power off. Warming up from Conserve mode takes more time than from Standby.
NOTE To increase or decrease wait time before printer enters Standby mode or Conserve mode, contact 3D
Systems Technical Support.
• Verify that printer is not building.
• Press “Tools” (A) on the status screen and select “Printer Shutdown” (B) on the menu screen. Select “Printer Shutdown” (C);
a dialog box will appear asking for conrmation (D); Select “Yes.” The “Status” screen will appear and a message will display
in the “Message Dialog Box” stating “OK TO POWER OFF XXX” (E). Once this message appears, it will be safe to press the
power switch to off on the rear panel.
