Managing the Ink Cartridges
Tips for your ink cartridges
To get the maximum benefit from your ink cartridges:
Q
Do not remove an ink cartridge from its packaging until you are ready to
install it.
Q
Do not refill the ink cartridge. The warranty will not cover damage caused
by using refilled cartridges.
Q
Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
Q
Do not remove an ink cartridge from the printer except to replace it.
Immediately replace the ink cartridge or store it in the storage unit. The
ink cartridge will not print correctly if removed from the machine and left
exposed to air for an extended period.
Q
Do not swap the colour cartridge with the black cartridge. The colour
cartridge should be installed in the Left carrier and the black cartridge
should be installed in the Right carrier.
Q
If you have an opened ink cartridge you are not currently using and do
not have an available print cartridge storage unit, store it in an airtight
plastic bag. Do not leave it exposed to the air for an extended period; this
promotes drying out and clogging of the print nozzles.
Clean Print Head Procedure
You should test the print cartridge when the print is not clear or image
information is missing. The problem may be caused by blocked nozzles on
the ink cartridge.
This procedure cleans the ink cartridge by purging the nozzles. Then it prints
a test so you can see the results.
Use the procedure:
Q
When you suspect the nozzles are clogged.
Q
When characters are not printing completely.
