4.8.3 Powder credit notifications
The printer reminds you of low powder credit
over time, indicating that you may only have
enough powder on hand for several more
prints. Upon starting a print, the printer warns
you if your credit is low.
•
If the printer does not have sucient
powder credits for the current print job,
the printer notifies you and does not start
the print job. Load additional powder credit
onto the printer and restart the print job.
•
After a print completes, the printer
notifies you if your powder credit total is
low. Check the Printer Status screen to
confirm there is enough powder credit
registered to the printer to complete
your upcoming prints. If not, you will be
unable to start the next print until sucient
powder credits are registered to the
printer. Register additional powder credits
or order additional powder.
4.9 Preparing the optical cleaning kit

three cleaning agents must be purchased separately.
