CANISTER LOAD STATUS
A variety of canister load status messages are displayed directly beneath each Material Status Icon, indicating
the current activity of each canister and/or the canister's filament. Throughout the process of loading and
unloading material these statues will update frequently, giving you an indication of the progress being made.

"Loading Material to the Liquefier Tips" on page 118

The various canister load statuses displayed are as follows:
•
Loading - this status is displayed while filament is being loaded to the liquefiers within the head,
which can only be done when the printer is stopped (idle) and is not building.
•
Loaded - this status is displayed once filament is loaded to the liquefiers, indicating that the canister
can be used to build a selected job.
•
Unloading - this status is displayed while filament is being unloaded from the liquefiers, which can
only be done when the printer is stopped (idle) and is not building.
•
Advance Filament - (displayed during the material loading process only) this status is displayed for
canisters that have been properly installed, but have not had their filament pre-loaded to the printer's
drive wheels.
•
Not Loaded - this status is displayed when a canister's filament has contacted the filament present
