Installing Ink Cartridges

Supported Ink Cartridges

The PF-3 Disc Printer uses 1 tri-color ink cartridge and 1 black ink cartridge. The part numbers for

these cartridges are V102C (color) and V101B (black). If other cartridges are installed, the PF-3 Disc

Printer will not function. These cartridges are available from any Microboards reseller.

Refill kits or non-Microboards ink cartridges are not recommended for use in the PF-3 Disc

Printer system. Use of non-Microboards cartridges will cause the printer to fail. Use of

refilled cartridges may cause the PF-3 Disc Printer to fail and may affect your warranty.

Loading / Replacing Ink Cartridges

Cartridges can be changed while the PF-3 Disc Printer is on. The Out of Ink LED will light if any

cartridge is beginning to run low on ink.

• With the printer on, open the front cover and wait for the print carriage to move to the center

of the printer.

• Lift the cartridge latch by lifting the center of the front of the latch.

• If replacing an empty ink cartridge, remove the cartridge that needs changing by sliding the

cartridge towards the front of the Printer.

• Remove each new print cartridge to be installed from its packaging.

• Remove the protective covering from the printheads before installing the cartridges.

• Slide the correct ink cartridge into the correct slot – color on the left, black on the right.

• Lower each cartridge latch until it locks into place by applying gentle pressure to the finger

depression. Do not try to force the latch down.

• Close the front cover.

• Wait for the cartridge priming cycle to complete before sending any print jobs to the printer.

The priming cycle will take approximately 70-80 seconds.

Any time you change ink cartridges, you should always wait until the printer has primed the

cartridges before sending it a print job. The priming cycle will take 70-80 seconds to complete

after the door is closed.

Lowering the Cartridge Latch

The latch on the right in is the

correct position. The left latch is

being closed.

Inserting or Removing a Cartridge

After lifting the cartridge latch,

slide the cartridge back to insert,

or forward to remove.
