Keeping the Objet30 Printer in Idle Mode
Between printing jobs, the Objet30 printer can be kept on for up to one
week. If the printer will not be used for more than a week, use the
shutdown wizard to automatically perform the procedures that must be
done before turning off the printer (see “Shutting Down the Objet30
Printer,” below).
When the Objet30 printer stops producing models, the printer software
automatically reduces the temperature of the print heads as follows:
Note: The printer mode is indicated in the green field on the left of the
interface (see figures 7-3, 7-7 and 7-8 on pages 3, 8 and 9).
If, after printing a job, you know that the printer will not be used for 10
hours or more, you can immediately turn off the heating of the print heads
by putting the printer into Idle mode.
To put the printer into Idle mode:
¾
From the File menu (in the printer interface) click
Exit
.
Note: The printer remains in Idle mode until you open the Objet30 printer
application and begin printing again.

When the printer is in Idle mode, do not turn it off. It can remain in this
mode—with the cover closed—for up to a week. For longer periods, shut
down the printer by running the Shutdown wizard (see below).
