The printer is supplied with a cleaning cartridge
(64) inserted. To be able to print, the cleaning
cartridge must be exchanged for an ink cartridge.
To do so, proceed as follows:
• Open the cover plate (5) on the left side of the
instrument (pressing its top left corner).
• Unscrew the red cap (85) of the cleaning car-
tridge (64) by one turn ( Fig. 31 ), then switch
on the printer using the main switch on the
rear side (item (62) in Fig. 23 ) and wait for it to
initialize.
• Open the hood (4 in Fig. 31 ), then
press the CLEAN and LOADED
keys simultaneously.
• The print head (72) moves
upward to a position approx.
1 cm away from the sealing lip
( Fig. 32 ).
• Raise the lever (69) then remove the black
transport plate (73) and insert the location
plate (70), which is required for printing
( Fig. 33 ).

Do not reinstall a used transport plate
(73), as it will no longer completely
seal the print head.
To prevent damage to the print head,
always use the red location plate (70)
when printing.
