Pausing During a Dispense Cycle

Press START at any time to pause the system during a dispense cycle; the system pauses at its current position.

NOTE:

 If the system is paused when the dispenser is open, pattern integrity will be compromised.

Purging the System

To purge the system, press the DISPENSER PURGE button.

NOTE:

 You can set up the system to purge automatically. Refer to “How to Set Up Auto Purge, Program Cycle 

Limits, or Fluid Working Life Limits” on page 84.

Updating Offsets

  After running a program repeatedly for several hours, click NEEDLE Z DETECT (systems with tip detection) 

or NEEDLE XY ADJUST (systems without a tip detection) to update the system to compensate for minute 
changes that can occur after long periods of operation.

Refer to “How the System Responds to Needle Z Detect or Needle XY Adjust” on page 57 for a detailed 
description of the system response to a Needle XY Adjust selection.

Shutting Down the System

1.  Click SYSTEM SETUP > EXIT to close the DispenseMotion 

software. If prompted to save a file, select YES or NO.

2.  Switch off the following components:

•  DispenseMotion controller
•  Monitor
•  Robot

3.  Refer to the dispensing system manuals for any special 

shutdown instructions.
