4. Instrument Setup
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. 36 ), then switch
on the printer using the main switch on the
rear side (item (62) in Fig. 34 ) and wait for it to
initialize.

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.
