Pattern Test
Thepatterntestisthebasicverificationoftheprinter’sabilitytoproduce
qualitymodels,sinceitdemonstratestheconditionofthenozzlesinthe
printheads.Makesure,therefore,thatyouperformthistest weekly,and
wheneveryoususpectaprintingproblem.
To perform the pattern test:
1. Makesurethatthebuildtrayisempty.
2. Prepareasheetofpinkpaper—A‐4orLettersize.
3. IntheEdenprinter,tapethepinkpapertothesurfaceleftofthebuild
tray.
4. IntheEdencomputerinterface,opentheOptionsmenuandselect
Pattern Test,orpressF3.
5. IntheConfirmdialogbox,click
Yes.

6. Carefullyinspectthetestpapertoseeiftherearemissinglines.
Toomanymissinglines,especiallyiftheyareinthesamearea,isan
indicationthatthequalityofprintingwhenproducingmodelswillbe
poor.Ifthisisthecase,see“ImprovingPrintQuality,”below.
Note: Acceptable model quality is subjective, and depends on the type
and scale (size) of the models produced. As a rule, however, more than 15
missing lines in one area of a column is considered unacceptable.
