NOTE: If the printer is to be used within 7 to 10 days of the last build, it is
recommended to leave your printer in either standby or conserve mode, instead of
powering off the printer.
If the printer is idle more than 4 hours , it enters Standby mode. If the printer is idle more
than 36 hours , it enters Conserve mode. In these energy-saving states, the printer heaters
are partially cooled and many other components are disabled. It takes much less time for
the printer to warm up from
Standby or Conserve mode than it does from full
shutdown/power off, (see table below). To increase or decrease wait time before the printer
enters
Standby mode or Conserve mode, contact 3D Systems Technical Support
