SECTION 2
INSTALLING THE PRINTER
20
Printhead Nozzle Area
7. Open the Print Engine Clamshell; using with both hands.
8. Using a lint-free cloth soaked with deionized or distilled water,
wet the entire Printhead Nozzle area.
Be liberal with the amount of water you leave behind on the nozzles
(the thin dark line on bottom of printhead cartridge). See images
below.
9. Immediately after wetting the nozzles. Carefully close and latch the Print Engine Clamshell.
CAUTION
HOLD ONTO BOTH LATCHES WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE PRINT ENGINE
CLAMSHELL TO PREVENT DAMAGE.
DO NOT ALLOW THE CLAMSHELL TO DROP OR SLAM CLOSED.
10. Now close the Printhead Latch [6]. After a few
seconds the Printer will run a “priming routine” that
fills the ink system and Printhead with ink.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
a. After closing the Printhead Latch there will
be a ~15 second pause (no noise or motion).
b. Then you will hear the Service Station
move to the capping position.
c. Then you will hear the ink pump start to
run.
d. At this time, ink should start flowing
through all the tubes, in and out of the
printhead. If you see this occurring, then the
priming process is working.
WARNING: Be careful not to damage
the “star rollers” when wiping the
printhead. These rollers are designed
so they can roll across a wet image,
without damaging the image. If the
rollers are bent, they will not turn free;
causing media feed issues (jamming)
and possible damage to the image or
media.
