Replacing the Waste Container

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 a special leak-proof, disposable container.
The container has a capacity of 1.8 kilograms of waste material—usually
enough for several weeks of printer use. The printer application displays a
warning message when there are .5 kilograms of material in the container, and
stops the printing when the net weight reaches 1.8 kilograms. Above 1.5
kilograms, the software does not allow you to start a printing job or activity until
you replace the waste container.
You can monitor the weight of the waste container in the Printer Indicators
display in the printer interface.
To monitor the waste weight (and other indicators) in the printer:
➢ In the main printer interface screen, click the display toggle to view the
Figure 6-149 Printer interface, showing waste weight (red background
indicates operator alert)
The waste container consists of a sealed bag inside a cardboard box. You
typically dispose of the entire waste container—including the box. Therefore,
you must assemble a new box and insert a new waste bag before you can
install it in the printer.
Replacement boxes, waste bags, and sealing caps are supplied in the
printer start-up kit and in the preventive-maintenance kit.
