For successful build jobs, when a user wants to switch from one part material to another without material mixing, a full Material Changeover (MCO) must be performed. A full MCO is required when switching from a rigid material to a elastomeric material or vise versa.

NOTE: Please ensure you have replaced the waste bag with a new empty one PRIOR to starting the Material Changeover Procedure. Also, ensure you have the required materials for the material change – two MCO Cleaner 2500 cartridges, two new part material cartridges and two support material cartridges for head maintenance cycles. |
|
NOTE: Full-MCO requires two support cartridges present to complete successfully. |

NOTE: If MCO is not performed correctly, the color profile of the new installed material may have residual original material color. |
- Ensure printer is in Ready state. Select Tools > Material Change Wizard from the UI.
- Select
to start the Material Change Wizard.
- Verify you have the required material on hand to start the material changeover procedure and select CONTINUE.
- The Material Change Wizard will show where in the process it is:
- When prompted, remove the current part material cartridges and close the MDM drawer, and select CONTINUE.
- Once the printer has flushed out the current part material, then when prompted, insert two MCO Cleaner 2500 cartridges and close the MDM drawer. Select CONTINUE.

NOTE: If the cartridges are cold the process will take an additional 30 minutes to allow material to warm before continuing. |
- The MCO Cleaner material flushes the rest of the part material out. This can take 30-45 minutes.
- When prompted, remove the MCO Cleaner cartridges from the MDM and close the drawer. Select CONTINUE. The printer will proceed to flush the Cleaner material from the system.
- When the Cleaner material has been flushed from the printer, when prompted, insert the new part material cartridges into the MDM. Select CONTINUE.

- This step can take 30-60 minutes to complete loading the new material into the system.
- Once the Material Changeover Process is complete a confirmation screen will appear. It is recommended to clean and inspect the planarizer blade and ducts once the material changeover is completed.
