4 System Use
4.1 Preparing for Printing at Startup or After the System Has Been Idle
When the system has been unused or idle, a series of steps are necessary to achieve good print quality.
1. Open main access door.
2. Verify that the waste ink bottle is installed and that it is not full. If it is full, replace it with an
empty bottle. (Firmware monitoring in being implemented for this.)
3. [White ink only] Remove all white ink cartridges from printer. Shake all white ink cartridges
for a minimum of 10 seconds. Re-insert all white ink cartridges into the printer
4. Close the main access cover.
5. [White ink only] Initiate white ink agitation routine on user display under the maintenance
options. (This will be automated in FW in future)
6. Perform individual deep clean procedures for each printhead. For white ink, execute the
deep clean procedure at least two times, and perform deep clean for black ink last (note:
deep clean on white should be done before other heads to prevent cross-contamination).
