Loading Model and Support Cartridges
J750 printers use up to 12 cartridges of Model material and up to four
cartridges of Support material, each weighing 3.6 kilograms when full. A
graphical representation of the cartridges loaded and their current weight
appears in the printer interface (see the figure on the previous page).
The material cabinet contains cartridges of printing material. For this purpose,
an RFID module is built into the cabinet. Tampering with this module will
render the printer inoperable and may void Stratasys warranties and service
contracts.
Important: If you need to replace the Model material currently installed with
another type, see "Changing the Printing Material" on page 4-11. Otherwise,
make sure to replace the Model cartridge with one containing the same type of
material.
To load Model and Support material:
1. Open the doors of the material cabinet.
2. Load Model and Support cartridges into their respective compartments.
3. Check the printer interface to make sure that the new cartridge is detected
4. Close the material cabinet.

You should feel some resistance, as a needle pierces the cartridge.
and that its weight is displayed (see the figure on the previous page).
You can load partially used cartridges, provided that they contain more than
100 grams of material.
You can replace material cartridges either before or during printing.
If printing stops for an extended time before you replace a material cartridge,
the printer may go into Standby or Idle mode. If this happens, see "Resuming
Production After Printing has Stopped" on page 4-9.
You can replace a partially used cartridge to avoid the need for replacing it
during printing.
The cartridge type is automatically detected by the printer. If you replace a
cartridge containing different Model material, a message appears
recommending that you run the Material Replacement wizard to flush out the
old material.
