Changing the Printing Material

When you want to produce models with a different type of printing material than
is currently installed, run the Material Replacement wizard to flush out the
current material from the print block and feed tubes. However, if the type of
material used for printing the new models is unimportant, you can replace the
material cartridge without first flushing out the old material.
You should carefully plan printing models with different materials to avoid
unnecessary waste of the materials currently loaded. The amount of
material flushed depends on the flushing cycle chosen and if you are
replacing one or both Model cartridges.
Note: When performing manual material replacement, certain replacement
options are blocked to protect the system. In these cases, follow the
recommendations of the Material Replacement wizard for best replacement
options.
To replace the printing material with the wizard:
1. Start the Material Replacement wizard from the Options menu.
2. In the opening screen, click Next.
3. If the printer cover is not closed, a screen appears, prompting you to close
