Depending on the size of the model(s) to be produced, printing can take between
several hours to several days. As long as there is enough Model and Support
material in the supply cartridges, printing proceeds automatically until the job is
finished.
J750/J735/J720 printers use up to six different Model-material cartridges to
produce models. In addition, two Support-material cartridge are required. If
additional cartridges are installed and they are not immediately needed for
printing, the printer interface indicates this (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.
