replaceȱtheȱcartridgesȱofȱModelȱandȱSupportȱmaterialȱcurrentlyȱloadedȱ
inȱtheȱprinterȱtoȱavoidȱtheȱneedȱforȱreplacingȱthemȱduringȱprinting.ȱ
Before beginning to produce models, it is recommended that you check the
current printing quality of the print heads by performing a pattern test (see
“Pattern Test” on page 25).
CAUTION: Use protective gloves when cleaning the build tray, and be
careful of the sharp edges of the scraper blade.
