6. Wet the Printhead Surface. This
ensures that the Printhead will prime
correctly. Open the Top Cover. Release
and lift up the two latches at the same
time to raise the Printhead Assembly.
Moisten the Printhead nozzles using
distilled water and a damp, lint-free
cloth, wiping end to end. (Gray strip
located below orange strip.) Close and
relatch the Printhead Assembly.
CAUTION
OPERATE AND HOLD ONTO BOTH
LATCHES WHEN OPENING AND
CLOSING THE PRINTHEAD
ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE.
DO NOT ALLOW THE ASSEMBLY
DROP BY ITSELF WHEN CLOSING.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE INK
LINES, A STOP LIMITS RAISING THE
ASSEMBLY MORE THAN 60°.
7. Close the Printhead Cover [6]. The Printer will
automatically run a start-up routine and prime the ink
into the Printhead. This may take a few minutes. Make
sure that ink is flowing through the hoses. If air
bubbles appear you may have to tap the lines or run
the Circulate Ink routine to clear them.
8. Watch the Toolbox screen on your computer again. Notice
that some of the information is in red. As the Printer
circulates ink and primes the system these fields should all
turn black.
9. When the Printer stops processing and all the fields in
System Status are black, the Printer is ready for use. Close
the Top Cover.
IMPORTANT
CHECK INK TANKS. PRINTER MAY NOT FULLY
REPRIME IF TANKS ARE LESS THAN 1/3 FULL.
NOTE: The Printer may take up to 12 minutes to set itself up
during initial startup. This is normal. The machine will emit a
number of chirps, whirrs and other noises as it circulates ink
and runs systems.
