Uv Lamp Extension (3 Minutes) - Gerber SOLARA UV2 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 5
Printing Jobs on the GERBER SOLARA UV2

UV lamp extension (3 minutes)

The UV lamps are designed to automatically turn off after the carriage sits at the home position
for one minute. You can extend the time the UV lamps remain on for an additional 3 minutes by
using the UV lamp extension option. This will give the user more time to send additional jobs or
change material without having the lamps turn off and have to cool down. You can only use the
3 minute extension option once between jobs.
Note: You can only use the 3 minute extension option ONCE between jobs. This is to keep the
UV lamps and internal components of the printer at optimum operating temperature.
