Shutting Down the Printer
YouonlyneedtoshutdowntheObjet1000Plusprinterifitwillnotbeused
foraweekormore.Otherwise,theprintercanremainon,inIdlemode.
TheShutdownprocessflushesprintingmaterialsfromprintercomponents.
Toavoidflushingoutvaluablematerial,makesuretoprintmodelsatleast
onceaweek.Manyprinteroperatorsusethisopportunitytoprintcustomer
samplesortestmodels.
Toproperlyshutdown,theprinterneedstoperformseveralprocesses.These
arecontrolledbytheShutdownwizard.Do not attempt to shut down
the printer by simply closing the computer interface (the printer-
control application), and never disconnect power to the printer
before completing this wizard.
Caution
Notusingtheprinterforanextendedperiodwithoutfirstrunningthewizard
cancauseseriousdamagetoprintheadsandotherexpensiveprinterparts.
Dependingonthelengthoftimetheprinterwillnotbeused,youcanchoose
betweenashortshutdownprocedure,andamorethoroughprocedure.
