During printing, the server computer must remain on and it must
communicate with the Eden260V printer. Do not log-off Windows until
printing is finished.
The Eden260V printer uses one Model-material cartridge and one Support-
material cartridge to produce models. When four cartridges are loaded in the
printer, two of them are reserve, or standby, cartridges. By default, the printer
first uses the cartridges with the least material in them. The printer interface
indicates which are being used (see "Printer Interface Color Key" below).
Printer Interface Color Key
The background colors in the printer indicator fields tell you at a glance whether
or not the value or item is suitable or ready for printing.
•
Green
—suitable/ready for printing
For example, in Figure 6-4 on the previous page:
❒
Ambient
—The ambient temperature of the printing chamber is within the
acceptable range.
❒
Heads Liquid
—The level of Model and Support material in the print-block
reservoir is OK.
❒
Heads Vacuum
—The vacuum level in the system is within the acceptable
range.
•

—not ready
For example, in Figure 6-4 on the previous page:
❒

—The UV lamps are not on.
❒
Heads (°C)
—The heads have not reached the temperature required for
printing models (in printing mode).
❒
Pre-Heater
—The Model and Support resins need to be heated before
being supplied to the print block. The temperature has not yet reached the
acceptable range.
•
Red
—not suitable for printing (or indicates a warning)
For example, in Figure 6-4 on the previous page:
❒
Waste
—The weight of the waste container is 9000 grams, more than
allowed when beginning a print job. (See "Replacing the Waste
Container" on page 6-78.)
The color of the material cartridges displayed in the printer interface indicates
which cartridges are active for the current (or next) print job.
For example, in Figure 6-3 on page 6-4:
•
Blue
—active cartridge
•
Gray
—reserve cartridge
