the middle setting, halfway between "New" and "Full".
Finally, when the filter cartridge is almost full, it will again stop reducing smoke and fumes,
and more power will be required to fully eliminate smoke and fumes.. Turn the knob to "Full".
To begin, set your Compact Filter knob to "New".
Your Compact Filter is now ready for use, with the fan off.
Print something amazing
Perform the following steps for each print.
Choose your materials.
Your Compact Filter has been tested with a wide variety of Proofgrade materials, and
designed to work with all laser-compatible materials. However, some materials, like Proofgrade
Draftboard or MDF, will cause your filter cartridge to fill up and require replacement much more
quickly than others.
Turn on your Compact Filter.
Use the switch next to the power cord to turn your Compact Filter on before each print.
Run your print.
Ensure that you use laser-compatible materials, like Proofgrade hardwood, plywood, and
acrylic. Different materials will fill the filter cartridge at different rates. MDF and Proofgrade
Draftboard are not recommended, as they will cause the filter cartridge to fill quickly.
