3.5 Clean the Parking Caps
On older ZPrinter 450 units (Type 1 and Type 2) there were Parking Caps which covered the print heads
when the printer was not printing. The Parking Caps are not present on ZPrinter 350 and ZPrinter 450
Type 3.
The Parking Caps provide a clean, surface for seating the print heads between builds.
Before you begin:
• Get several dry paper towels
• Get the squirt bottle included in your Accessories Kit
