material in the supply cartridges, printing proceeds automatically until the job is
finished.
During printing, the server computer must remain on and it must
communicate with the Objet350 printer. Do not log-off Windows until printing
is finished.
The Objet350 printer uses one, two or three Model-material cartridges and one
Support-material cartridge to produce models. If additional cartridges are
installed and they are not immediately needed for printing, the printer interface
indicates this (see "Printer Interface Color Key" below).
Printer Interface Color Key
The background colors in the printer indicator fields tell you at a glance whether
or not the value or item is suitable or ready for printing.
• Green—suitable/ready for printing
• Blue—not ready
• Red—not suitable for printing (or indicates a warning)
The color of the material cartridges displayed in the printer interface indicates
which cartridges are active for the current (or next) print job.
For example, in Figure 6-3 on page 6-4:
• Blue—active cartridge
• Gray—reserve cartridge
DOC-17001 Rev. L

acceptable range.

reservoir is OK.
❒ Heads Vacuum—The vacuum level in the system is within the acceptable
