Setting Up Your Printer
NOTE: Before starting your rst part, please ensure that the printer is clean and that it
is kept well-maintained. Please see the ProJet CJP160, 260C, 260 Plus , 360 and


Add Binder
To add binder, follow the steps below.
Before inserting the cartridge into the
housing, check the expiration date,
andensure the cartridge label is in the
correct orientation.
Insert cartridge into its housing. Ensure
it is pushed all the way in; you should
feel it gently snap into place.
Important: If a cartridge does not snap
into place, do not force it . Check the
orientation and that it is the correct type
of cartridge and try again.
If there is not enough binder in the
reservoir, 3DPrintdisplays BINDER LOW
in the Printer Status dialog.
Important: Do not add binder unless you
are prompted to in thePrinter Status
dialog.



Add Core
To add Core, follow the steps below.
Open the printer cover and vacuum Core
into the feeder by selecting VACUUM on
the display. Important: Never usethe
vacuum for any material other than
clean Core.Doing so will clog the
vacuum system.
3DPrint evaluates the geometry of the
part to determine if there is enough
Coreinthe Feeder to complete the build.
If there is not enough Core, 3DPrint
displays ADD COREin the Printer Status
dialog. Important: Do not add Coreto
the Feeder unless you are prompted to
in the 3DPrint Printer Status dialog.
The printer cannot start a print job when
the top cover is open; ensure cover is
closed before printing. Do not open the
cover while the machine is printing.
