Unloading Material
The model and support material cartridges may be replaced separately or at the same time. In
idle-, load-, or build-related modes, the panel displays the percentage of material remaining in the
cartridges. If the printer will be operating unattended for a long period, and the material level is
getting low, you may want to replace the cartridges before starting a new part. Of course, you will
also need to replace the cartridges when they are empty.
Unload material cartridges:

• Press

Note: You might get the message,
Cartridge Not Replaced Or Invalid
. This occurs if
you do not insert the new cartridges within 30 seconds. In this case the cartridge will
not lock into its slot. You must press the
Retry
button before continuing the process.
Note: If the display shows
Load Failed
, press
Retry
. If load fails again, remove the
cartridge, snip the material (see Figure 21. ), remove filament in the printer, and reinsert
the cartridge.
