Shutting Down the Objet30 Printer
You only need to shut down the Objet30 printer if it will not be used for a
week or more. Otherwise, the printer can remain on, in Idle mode. To
properly shut down, the printer needs to perform several processes. Do not
attempt to shut down the printer by simply closing the computer
interface (the printer‐control application), and never disconnect power to
the printer before completing this wizard. Instead, use the wizards that
prepare the printer for shutdown.
•
Shutdown Wizard. This wizard clears the print heads of printing
materials before shutdown.
Use this wizard if you need to shutdown the printer computer (or
disconnect the power supplied to the printer) for less than one week,
and to complete the shutdown process after running the Material
Flush/Fill Wizard.
•
Material Flush/Fill Wizard. This wizard replaces printing materials in
the print heads with cleaning fluid.
Use this wizard if you need to shut down the printer for more than one
week. (After using this wizard, you must run it again before printing
models, this time to replace the cleaning fluid in the print heads with
printing materials.) The Material Flush/Fill Wizard is described on
Shutdown
Wizard
Note: If you expect the printer to be shut down for more than one week, first
run the Material Flush/Fill Wizard (see page 7-18).
To run the Objet30 Shutdown Wizard:
1. Select

Note: Run wizard manually is selected by default. It is recommended that
you do not change this selection, to have more control over the shutdown
process. If you select Run wizard unattended, the shutdown process may
take longer, and the wizard will automatically shut down the printer
computer.
