Caution:

• 

Use only ink cartridges from Allen Bradley, Cat. No. 1492-PRTINKCART or 1492-PRTCLEAN

• 

Remove used ink cartridges only when you have a replacement available and have prepared
the installation. Otherwise, any ink remaining in the nozzles could dry out.

• 

Do not refill the ink cartridges. The FAST TRACK

TM

Printer calculates the remaining level of ink

in the cartridges with the help of the IC chip on side of the ink cartridge. The IC chip does not
recalculate the remaining level of ink when the cartridge is refilled, so that the available amount
of ink does not change.

Note:

You cannot continue with a print job if the ink cartridge is empty. You must replace the empty cartridge
first, before you can proceed with printing.

• 

Ink is not only expended when printing Marker Cards. It is also used during print head cleaning,
when replacing the ink cartridges as well as during the self-cleaning cycle that takes place every
time the FAST TRACK

TM

Printer is turned on.
