2. Select the appropriate printing mode.
If you require the job to be printed in High Quality mode, select this 
option.
Note:The availability of High Quality mode depends on the material
selected.
If you require the job to be printed in High Speed mode, select this 
option.
If you do not require the job to be printed either in High Quality or 
High Speed mode, select 
This setting enables the Connex software to determine (just before 
printing) the most efficient way to print the tray. Digital Material mode 
is used if this removes the need to perform the Material Replacement 
procedure. Otherwise, High Speed mode is used.
For example, if printing the tray requires only one of the model 
materials loaded in the printer, only the two print heads using that 
material are used to print models—Digital Material mode. (High 
Quality and High Speed modes call for printing model material with 
four heads, which would require you to perform the Material 
Replacement procedure.)
On the other hand, if printing the tray can be done using four print 
heads without running the Material Replacement procedure, High 
Speed mode is used. This is possible if all print heads are supplied with 
one model material, or if you allow printing with an arbitrary mixture 
of similar materials (see below).
Model Quality When Digital Material Mode is Used
Near-high-quality is achieved for most models.
If all objects on the tray are inserted from individual stl files, they are
printed with the standard resolution of 600 dpi (dots per inch) along the
Y-axis—unless glossy finish is required (see "Surface Finish" on page 24).
If there is an assembly on the tray, all of the models on the tray are
printed with a resolution of 300 dpi along the Y-axis.
3. Click

The Model Material Substitution dialog box opens—if this is relevant for 
the tray. (If not, the Job Summary dialog box opens—continue with 
step 4.)
