Shutting Down the Printer
You only need to shut down the printer if it will not be used for 30 days or more.
Otherwise, the printer can remain on, in Idle mode. However, if there is a need
to turn off the printer sooner, use the Shutdown wizard to automatically perform
the necessary processes before turning off the printer
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. 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 the Shutdown wizard.
Caution
Turning off the printer for an extended period without first running the wizard
can cause serious damage to print heads and other expensive printer parts.
• Shutdown for Less Than One Week
Before shutting down the printer or the printer computer for less than one
week, run the Shutting Down the Printer. This wizard clears the print heads
of printing materials before shutdown.
• Shutdown for One Week or More
Before shutting down the printer or the printer computer for one week or
more, first run the Material Flush/Fill Wizard. This wizard replaces printing
materials in the print block with cleaning fluid.
Note: After preparing the printer with the Material Flush/Fill wizard, you
must run it again before printing models, this time to replace the cleaning
fluid in the print block with printing materials.)
To run the Shutdown wizard:
1. Select Shutdown wizard from the Options menu, or press F8.
