Keeping the Printer in Idle Mode
Between printing jobs, the printer can be left unused for up to one week. If the
printer will not be used for more than a week, use the Shutdown wizard to
automatically perform the procedures that must be done before turning off the
printer (see "Shutting Down the Printer" on page 4-27).
When the printer stops producing models, the printer software automatically
reduces the temperature of the print heads, as follows:
After printing stops
Mode
Change in heating of
print heads
first 15 minutes
Standby 1
no change
next 1 minute
Standby 2
-----
after Standby 2
Idle
heating stopped
Note:
The printer mode is indicated in the upper left of the main printer interface
screen (see the figures on pages 4-4, and 4-9).
If, after printing a job, you know that the printer will not be used for 16 minutes or
more, you can immediately turn off the heating of the print heads by putting the
printer into Idle mode.
To put the printer into Idle mode:
➢
From the
File
menu (in the printer interface) click
Exit
.
Note:
The printer remains in Idle mode until you open the printer application
and begin printing again.
When the printer is in Idle mode, do
not
turn it off. It can remain in this mode—
with the cover closed—for up to a week. For longer periods, shut down the
printer by running the Shutdown wizard (see "Shutting Down the Printer"
below).
