Low Ink Warning
You will be provided with a warning when either of the ink cartridges is running low. Check the Ink
tab in the Printer Preferences to determine which cartridge is running low. When the estimated ink
level reaches 0%, a message warning you that the ink cartridge is empty will appear.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the cartridge when the warning indicates the ink
level is at 0%. Continuing to run the CX-1 Disc Publisher with an empty cartridge may damage
the printer.
If you notice poor ink quality or a missing color in your prints at any time, replace the ink cartridge.
See pages 8-9 for details.
Out of Ink Message
If you do not change the cartridge when the Low Ink warnings first appear, you will run the risk of
draining the cartridge completely, affecting print quality and potentially damaging the printer. The Out
of Ink message will appear when the ink levels of specified the cartridge can no longer be safely
used. It is strongly recommended that you do not wait for the ink to be completely drained.
You should change the cartridges when or shortly after the Low Ink warning appears.
When the Out of Ink message appears, the current print job will be cancelled. At that point, please
follow the steps below, in order:
1. Open the front door of the CX-1 Disc Publisher.
2. When the carriage moves to center, remove the ink cartridge specified in the message.
3. Replace the cartridge and close the front door.
4. Press the Cancel button on the front printer control panel.
5. Wait for the printer to prime the cartridge. The priming cycle will
take approximately 70-80 seconds to complete. Do not perform the
next step until the priming cycle completes.
6. After the disc ejects, click the OK button on
the Out of Ink message.
7. If this occurs during a Zulu2 action and the
cartridge is not replaced immediately, you will
see the message shown to the right.
Click the OK button on the message to
continue with the Zulu2 action.
If you do not wait for the cartridge priming cycle to complete and you have additional print jobs waiting
in the print queue, you may have to clear the print queue before the printer will respond. During the
CX-1 installation, a shortcut to a utility to clear the print queue was added to your PC. Please note
that this utility will clear all print jobs currently in the print queue for any printer.
To run the utility, click the Start button and select either Programs or All Programs, depending on the
Operating System and the Start Button behavior. Click the Microboards entry, then CX-1 Disc
Publisher. Click the Print Queue Utility shortcut in the Toolbox directory. After the utility opens,
click the Clear Print Queue button to remove all pending print jobs on your PC. The queue will clear
in approximately 10 seconds; when it is complete, you can begin printing again.
