If you want to fill the storage tank in advance for future jobs, you can do it automatically from the front
panel by tapping Reclaimed material > Storage tank > Fill automatic, or manually by tapping Reclaimed
material > Storage tank > Fill manual. If an automatic fill of the storage tank stops when there is still
material inside the external tank, check that the external material collector is not obstructed with
useless broken fragments of material. If the external material collector is clean but there is a hole in the
material near the external tank lance, continue the fill manually.
CAUTION: Use HP-certified external tanks only. The use of third-party external tanks can cause safety
risks, material leakages, and malfunctions in the processing station; and may affect your system
warranty.
NOTE: The processing station may ask you to check the material quantity in the storage tank. To do
so, check the ruler in the tank, and follow the steps in the front panel.
To replace the external tank, see Replace the external tank on page 303
Manual fill process
Follow these steps to fill the storage tank manually.
1. Unlatch and open the lid.
2. Connect the external tank collector and pipe. You are recommended to wear gloves and goggles.
NOTE: If you leave the pipe in one position, it will consume all the material in that area, while there
is s
till material elsewhere in the tank. You should therefore move the pipe around in the tank to
access all the available material.
NOTE: You can insert the pipe with the vacuum switched off, if you like.
