Unloading Material
The model and support material cartridges may be replaced
separately or at the same time. In idle-, load-, or build-related
modes, the panel displays the percentage of material remaining in
the cartridges. If the printer will be operating unattended for a long
period, and the material level is getting low, you may want to
replace the cartridges before starting a new part. Of course, you
will also need to replace the cartridges when they are empty.
