Changing the Printing Material

Before producing 3D prints using a different type of printing material than is
currently installed, run the Material Replacement wizard to flush the print block
and feed tubes.
After using the wizard to change the support material and certain model
materials, Head Optimization is required before printing.
You should carefully plan production of 3D prints the 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 more cartridges.
The Material Replacement wizard suggests the best slot locations for
placing different material cartridges, based on the materials currently in the
system. This ensures minimum flushing of materials currently loaded.
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
