5 Routine Operations

The routine maintenance tasks described in this chapter should be performed before every build.

5.1 Preparing the Build Area

IMPORTANT

Use only powder supplied by Z Corporation. Use of any other material may impact the

performance and/or safety of your 3D Printer System and will void warranty of equip-

ment.

1. Preheat printer, if needed. Preheating the printer will reduce the print time if the printer has not reached

the required temperature. To preheat the printer, select the Preheat Printer option under the Service

menu.

2. Lower feed piston by pressing down on the Feed DOWN button until the feed piston automatically

drops.

3. Take printer offline by pressing 'Offline' on the control panel.

4. Lift the top cover of the printer.

5. Raise build piston by pressing Build UP. Once build piston has stopped, press Build UP once. You will

see 'Hold for Unload' on the control panel.
