Resuming Production After Printing has Stopped
If the printing process is interrupted, Job Manager stops sending slices to
the Objet30 printer. This can happen, for example, if the printing material
runs out in the middle of a print job, and you don’t replace the empty
cartridge immediately. After the printer changes to Standby or Idle mode,
you need to resume printing from Job Manager.
To continue printing the model:
1. If the printer is in offline mode, switch it to online mode by clicking the
red button at the bottom of the Objet30 printer interface (see figure 7‐3
The button changes from red to green (see figure 7‐7 on page 8).

connection between the printer and the server computer is active.
3. In the Job Manager interface, click the Resume icon
