Replacing Waste Containers
Printer waste contains partially cured polymeric material, collected during normal
operation and maintenance of the printer. For safety and environmental reasons,
this material is kept in two leak-proof containers.
Each container has a capacity of 18 kilograms of waste material. The printer
application displays a warning message when one waste container is full and
there are 17 kilograms of material in the other container. (If only one waste
container is installed, the message appears when there are 17 kilograms of
material in it.) The printer stops printing when the net weight in the second (or
only) container reaches 17.5 kilograms. When the net weight in this container is
above 17 kilograms, the software does not allow you to start a print job (or a
printing activity). You can monitor the weight of the waste containers in the
printer interface.
Caution
Dispose of full waste containers in accordance with environmental and safety
requirements.
Empty Model-material and Support-material containers can be used as
printer-waste containers.
