3.6 Loading of the syringe
Pre-cool the printhead before loading of the syringe when using temperature-sensitive materials (see Section 4.5.2).
Follow the steps below to load the syringe into the printhead.
1. Slide the syringe into the cooling block.
2. Rotate the syringe by the tabs by 90˚ counterclockwise (looking
from the top of the printhead) so that the tabs sit under the
top of the block.
3. Adjust the position of the syringe plunger holder by navigating
to the Prepare Bioprint menu on the LCD interface and
selecting the Raise Plunger function. Using the Extrude Volume
Function on the LCD interface, move the syringe plunger holder
to match the position of the syringe plunger.
4. Rotate the syringe plunger holder clockwise (looking from the
top of the printhead) to securely attach the syringe plunger.
