5 Additional Operations

When you start a print job, 3DPrint checks the printer to ensure there are enough materials to com-
plete the job and that the printer is properly prepared before starting the job. If the printer does not
have enough Core, binder, or print head life to complete the job, a message appears in the Printer
Status dialog telling you what you need to do to prepare the printer before printing.
Important: Do not add Core or binder to the printer, or change a print head, unless you see a message
telling you to in the Printer Status dialog.

5.1 The Printer Status Report

The printer has an onboard Status Report you can use to check Core levels, head life remaining, etc. This
is especially useful if the printer is located some distance from the computer used to control it.
To access the onboard Status Report, select
to the example below:

5.2 The Printer Status Dialog

The Printer Status dialog in 3DPrint keeps you appraised of everything your ProJet 160 / ProJet 260C
needs to start your print job. The two examples below show what appears when the printer is ready to
print, and when it's not ready.
