material has been unloaded from the liquefier, but the canister has not been removed (only the tip is
replaced), the material will still be at the head. By default, this is the 'selected' canister for loading to
the liquefier - a * is shown on the display for this bay.

B. Three sequential menu items are available -
and
Reset Tip Odometers..
Note: It is recommended that you select each option sequentially, from top to
bottom, dependent upon your needs (a tip may be changed without changing
material type; a material type change should always be accompanied by a tip
change).
Note: As this sequence of menus always assumes that a tip has been changed,
a system calibration must occur before part build can be accomplished. Material
load and system calibration are available from the Reset Tip Odometers.. menu.
i.
Review Materials to Load... Material bay canister information is displayed - type, amount
remaining, and status.
i.
To select a material, move your cursor to that line and press ENTER. The canister status will be
displayed to the far right of the screen.
•
(*AtHead)- indicates that the material is loaded to the head, but not to the liquefier tip (if material
has been unloaded, but the canister has not been removed from the bay, the material backs out of
the tip and remains in the head). By default, this is the material selected for loading to the tip. A
different material type cannot be selected for loading to that tip unless the
canister is removed from the system (causing the material to empty from the system).
