"Nachdem eine neue Kartusche eingelegt wurde, muß vor der ersten Abformung einmalig ein Vorlauf erfolgen, damit beide Pasten des Materials korrekt dosiert werden."
Talking about a mixer used in dentistry. I guess the mixer mixes the impression material.
What is a "Vorlauf" in this context? Flow? Forerun? I just don't have any definite idea. TIA for your help.

trial run
I think Vorlauf may have the meaning of Testlauf here. So, before the first Abformung is made, a trial run is necessary to determine the correct dosage of the pastes.

Comment: "I think "trial run" will work very well here. Thank you very much for that Lisa, but thanks also to the others who offered an idea. Appreciate your help."

initialization run
i.e. to get all the feed pipelines full with the mixture and to get rid of all the air bubbles. Otherwise the amount dosed will be mixed with air and will thus be incorrect
