Printer Maintenance
Included in the Accessories are Cartridge Capping Assem-
blies. These are designed to enclose the Print Cartridge
nozzles. Proper use of the Cartridge Capping Assemblies
helps to maintain good print quality and prevents ink from
drying and clogging the Print Cartridge nozzles.
Use the Cartridge Capping
Assemblies when the printer
is left to idle or shut down for
more than a few minutes.
1. Remove the Print
Cartridge from the
Print Heads assembly.
(See page 5-2 for information on removing the Print
Cartridges.)
NOTE: Keep the Print Cartridge in order or numbered
otherwise the counter for the percent ink remaining
will give false information.
2. Remove any excess ink on the nozzles. See Cleaning
on page 5-6.
3. Clean any ink buildup
on the rubber seal of
the Cartridge Capping
Assembly to prevent
it from obstructing the
nozzles.
4. Install the Print Cartridge
nozzle first into the
Cartridge Capping
Assembly, then press the
top section completely in.
5. Remove the Print
Cartridge from the
Cartridge Capping Assembly in reverse order.
Suggestion: Check the Print Head Alignment and
perform a purge of the Print Cartridges before operating
the printer.
