Replacing the
Waste
Container
The
waste
container
contains
partially
cured
polymeric
material
produced
during
normal
operation
and
maintenance
of
the
Connex
printer.
For
safety
and
environmental
reasons,
this
material
is
kept
in
a
special
leak
‐
proof,
disposable
container.
The
container
has
a
capacity
of
10
kilograms
of
waste
material—usually
enough
for
several
months
of
printer
use.
The
printer
software
displays
a
warning
message
when
there
is
9
kilograms
of
material
in
the
container,
and
stops
the
printer
when
the
net
weight
reaches
9.5
kilograms.
Above
9
kilograms,
the
software
does
not
allow
you
to
start
a
job
(or
a
printing
activity)
until
you
replace
the
waste
container.
You
can
monitor
the
weight
of
the
waste
container
in
the
Maintenance
screen
of
the
printer
interface.
You
can
also
visually
inspect
the
level
of
waste
in
the
container.
(To
access
it,
see
page 7
‐

To monitor the waste weight (and other indicators) in the Connex printer:
¾
In
the
main
printer
interface
screen,
click
the
display
toggle
to
view
the
Connex
printer
indicators.

The
waste
container
consists
of
a
plastic
container
inside
a
cardboard
box.
You
typically
dispose
of
the
entire
waste
container—including
the
box.
Therefore,
you
must
assemble
a
new
box
and
insert
a
new
plastic
container
before
you
can
install
it
in
the
printer.
