Install the Inkjet Cartridges
The AstroJet 1000 can be configured with 4 inkjet cartridges. The cartridges are installed as follows:
•
Remove the inkjet cartridge from its packaging, taking care not to
touch the copper contacts, the metal plate, or the gold
printhead. Remove the protective tape from the printhead.
•
The cartridges are held in place by a latch lever mounted on the
inkjet cartridge holder. Release the lever by raising it vertical.
•
With the cartridge’s printhead pointing down, slide the cartridge
into the holder and push down and toward the contacts in the
holder.
•
Make sure the cartridge is seated in the holder then close the
latch lever to secure the cartridge in the holder. Do not force
the lever into place. (See the diagram.)
•
Repeat the above for the remaining cartridges.
NOTE: For optimum image quality during the run, refer to
"Cleaning the Printhead" on page 34.
The ink in the cartridge may be
harmful if swallowed. Keep new and
used cartridges out of reach of
children. Discard empty cartridges
immediately.
Setting up the Feed
1. Release the separator-locking lever located
on the operator’s side of the feeder and
raise the separators to the up and locked
position. Move the side guides out to their
extreme open position. Place one piece of
media in the center of the feed table.
2. There are four separators on the feeder.
Use the two center separators for narrow
media and all four separators for wide
media. Place the media under the
separators and lower the separators so that
they rest on the media.
3. Rotate the locking lever up to lock the
separators in place.
