When print job starts, the system detects the required temperatures for the chamber, blade, and material tank and heats the components to the minimum required temperatures indicated in the job file. There is an option to abort the job during the printing process.

When the minimum required temperature is established, the printing begins. The printer continues to maintain the target temperature during the print job.

If the chamber, blade, and material tank do not reach the required temperature then the job will not start.
