Refill UVgel

Introduction

An LED on the printer shows the UVgel status. The LED color indicates when you can refill each UVgel reservoir. The user interface also displays the UVgel levels. You can refill a UVgel reservoir in the printer before it is completely empty, and you can refill UVgel while printing.

  • If the LED is off, you can not refill UVgel.

  • If the LED is white, you can add at least one UVgel box.

  • If the LED is orange, the UVgel reservoir is almost empty. It is recommended to refill UVgel.

  • If the LED is red, UVgel reservoir is empty. You must refill UVgel to continue printing.

Before you begin

Use Colorado XL-series prescribed:

  • Microflex gloves for handling UVgel

  • Safety glasses

  • Lint free cloths

CAUTION

Wear gloves when contact with ink or maintenance materials is possible. Gloves should always overlap sleeves. Follow the ink related Safety Data Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
