FlushingCycles
TheflushingcycleyouselectintheMaterial Replacement Optionsscreen
determineshowthoroughlytoflushoutmaterialcurrentlyinthesystem.
AfterselectingtheEconomycycleandcompletingthewizard,youmight
decidethatyourequireamorethoroughflushing,toensureaccuratemodel
color.Or,youmaynoticethatprintedmodelsarenotsatisfactorybecause
theycontaintracesofthepreviousmaterial.Ifso,youcanflushoutmore
material,sothatthenextmodelswillbeprintedwithpurematerial.
Toperformadditionalflushingcycles:
➢ IntheAdvanced Settingsscreen,select"Flushagain"optionsandclick
Apply.
TheMaterial Replacement Optionsscreenappears,whereyoucanselectthe
material(s)youneedtoflushagain.
Keeping the Printer in Idle Mode
Betweenprintingjobs,theObjet1000Plusprintercanbeleftunusedforupto
oneweek.Iftheprinterwillnotbeusedformorethanaweek,usethe
Shutdownwizardtoautomaticallyperformtheproceduresthatmustbedone
beforeturningofftheprinter(see"ShuttingDownthePrinter"onthenext
page).
Whentheprinterstopsproducingmodels,theprintersoftwareautomatically
reducesthetemperatureoftheprintheads,asfollows:
After printing stops Mode Change in heating of print heads
first15minutes Standby1 nochange
next10hours Standby2 heatingreduced(toroomtemp.)
afterStandby2 Idle heatingstopped
Note: Theprintermodeisindicatedintheupperleftoftheprinterinterface
screen(seethefiguresonpages6-3,and6-9).
If,afterprintingajob,youknowthattheprinterwillnotbeusedfor10hours
ormore,youcanimmediatelyturnofftheheatingoftheprintheadsby
puttingtheprinterintoIdlemode.
ToputtheprinterintoIdlemode:
➢ FromtheFilemenu(intheprinterinterface)clickExit.
Note: TheprinterremainsinIdlemodeuntilyouopentheObjet1000Plus
printerapplicationandbeginprintingagain.
WhentheprinterisinIdlemode,donotturnitoff.Itcanremaininthismode—
withthecoverclosed—foruptoaweek.Forlongerperiods,shutdownthe
printerbyrunningtheShutdownwizard(seeShutting Down the Printer,
below).
