Pattern Test
The
pattern
test
is
the
basic
verification
of
the
printer’s
ability
to
produce
quality
models,
since
it
demonstrates
the
condition
of
the
nozzles
in
the
heads.
Make
sure,
therefore,
that
you
perform
this
test
weekly,
and
whenever
you
suspect
a
printing
problem.

1. Make
sure
that
the
build
tray
is
empty.

sheet
of
pink
paper,

14
centimeters
in
size
(8.5
×
5.5
inches)—half
of
the
standard
A
‐
4
or
Letter
size.
3. In
the
Objet30
printer,
tape
the
pink
paper
to
the
center
of
the
build
tray.
4. Press
F3
,
or
