Figure 7-2: Main power cable and switch The main power switch turns on the Connex printer, which includes the built‐in Connex computer. Printer cover Printing-materials & storage compartment CAUTION! •Do not attempt to operate the Connex printer before being trained by an Objet customer-support representative. •Observe all safety warnings and follow the safety guidelines described in chapter 2. DOC-13000 Rev. E7–3 Connex500/350 User Guide 2. After the computer boots, log in to Windows and launch the Connex control application: •On the computer desktop, double‐click the Connex printer icon. or— •From the Start menu, select Objet > Connex500/350Connex500/350. The Connex printer interface screen opens (see figure 7‐3). All monitoring and controlling of the Connex printer is done from this interface. Figure 7-3: Connex500 interface A valid HASP key is required on the printer computer for the application to open. This key should be installed during printer installation. If the application does not open and a HASP message appears, contact your dealer or Objet Customer Support. Printer mode Current activity Support material cartridges Display toggle button Pause button Stop button Online/offline button Model material cartridges Connex installations utilize one monitor for displaying both the computer running Objet Studio / Job Manager and the computer installed inside the printer. Make sure that the KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switch is in the correct position so that the Connex printer interface is displayed. Operating & Maintaining the Connex500/350 3-D Printer 7–4 DOC-13000 Rev. E Loading Model and Support Cartridges Connex printers use two cartridges of model material and two cartridges of support material, each weighing 3.6 kilograms when full. A graphical representation of the cartridges and their current weight appears in the printer interface (see figure 7‐3). —— Important: If you need to replace the model material currently installed with another type, see “Changing the Model Material” on page 7‐10. Otherwise, make sure to replace the model cartridge with one containing the same type of material. To load model and support cartridges: 1. On the front of the Connex printer (see figure 7‐1), pull open the doors of the storage compartment. 2. If you are replacing a cartridge, grasp its handle and pull the cartridge out, taking care not to twist or turn it. 3. Load model and support cartridges into their respective compartments—the model cartridge on the right, and the s upport cartridge on the left. (Note that the cartridges only fit into their correct compartments.) You should feel some resistance, as a needle pierces the cartridge. 4. Check the Connex printer interface to make sure that the new cartridge is detected and that its weight is displayed (see fig ure 7‐3). 5. Close the storage‐compartment door. The printer uses RFID technology to automatically identify the material cartridges. For this purpose, an RFID module is part of the printer hardware. Tampering with this module will render the printer inoperable and may void Objet warranties and service contracts. Tips about replacing cartridges: •You can replace material cartridges either before or during printing. •You can replace partially used cartridges to avoid the need for replacing them …
