Maintenance
The print head carriage moves to its rest position.
If the new ink cartridge is not inserted correctly, the On-Line and On
indicators will flash alternately. You must repeat the replacement operation
completely.
CAUTION: Always keep the ink cartridges sealed until they are to be used.
Do NOT attempt to re-ink the cartridge, as this damages the print head and
the printer.
NOTE: If the quality of printing is not optimum, try priming the print head
(see the following).
Priming the Monochrome Print Head
You need to prime the monochrome print head to clear the ink nozzles. This
operation applies only to monochrome print head.
If, after inserting a new print head or during a printing operation, the print
quality is not optimal or deteriorates, prime the print head to improve it. Poor
print quality is usually caused by air bubbles which block one or more of the
print head nozzles; priming will clear any blockage.
To prime the print head, proceed as follows:
• Set the printer OFF LINE (pressing the On-Line button), to move the print
head carriage to its rest position.
• Open the top cover of the printer.
