MAINTENANCE

Printhead Storage

Store and transport the cartridge as indicated by the "this side up"

arrow symbol on the packaging.

The cartridge and ink supply must be within the operating

temperature range before attempting to prime the cartridge with ink

and starting to print. When stored at temperatures below the

operating range it may take up to 3 hours for a cartridge in its

packaging to reach operating temperature. NOTE: Additional

packaging will increase the time needed to reach operating temperature.

Storage Life: 12 months from date of manufacture (printed on shipping box).

Storage Temperature Range:

Long Term: 14° F to 86° F (-10° C to 30° C)

Short Term: -11° F to 140° F (-25° C to 60° C)

NOTE: Cumulative storage duration above 86° F (30° C)

must not exceed 72 hours.

Humidity Range:

5% to 95% Relative Humidity, non-condensing

Atmospheric Pressure Range:

70 kPa to 106 kPa (70 Kilopascals = 10.15264166 Psi

and 106 Kilopascals = 15.374000228 Psi)

Electrostatic Discharge:

8 kV air discharges or 4 kV contact discharges*

*When tested in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2

Printhead Service Life

Projected: 50,000,000 ejections per nozzle. The Printhead has a total of 70,400 nozzles (14,080 per color

channel.) Since printing does not use the entire length of the Printhead, some nozzles do not fire as often.

The most often used Nozzles will degrade more quickly. Noticing the effects of failing nozzles depends

partly on the relative position of those nozzles to each other. In simple terms, the number of images printed

and the amount of ink that will pass through the printhead prior to printhead degradation will depend on the

make-up of the images printed, the operating environment, servicing, media characteristics (including

cleanliness) and other factors.
