CANISTER AUTO CHANGEOVER

Note: Auto changeover is included as part of the 4-bay system option. It is not
available with standard 2-bay system.
Auto changeover allows you to leave a long build unattended. When an active canister becomes empty:
1. The system is paused and the canister drive automatically withdraws residual material from the
system.
2. The changeover canister is pre-loaded, and then material is loaded to the head. The build job is
automatically resumed.
Note: If the material to be loaded is not the same as the material it is replacing, a
material mis-match load error will occur. The auto changeover will not occur and
the system will enter Pause mode.
3. While the changeover is taking place, the user panel displays:
• No user interaction is required.
• Auto Changeover takes about five minutes.
