HP C6119A Ink System Cartridges
In addition to the standard Inkjet Cartridges, the AstroJet Image Blaster can be
equipped with the HP C6119A bulk ink supply. This system will print 10 times the
amount of media as the standard cartridge can print. A holder for these cartridges is
included with each AstroJet Image Blaster Printer. To use, simply attach the Bulk Ink
Cartridge holder on the rear of the printer cover with the screws supplied. To install the
cartridges follow the directions below:
•
Remove the printhead from its packaging, and slide the reservoir out of the
left side of the system packaging. Do not throw the packaging away until the
system is installed in the printer. There are important directions on the
packaging for attaching the pen to the reservoir. Do not attempt to remove
the ink reservoir from its diamond-shaped box. (See the caution labels on the
bottom panel of the ink reservoir. It is also important that the ink reservoir
does not get squeezed during the installation process. Squeezing the
reservoir could cause ink to seep out of the printhead.
•
Place the reservoir in the tray that hangs from the back of the printer. There
are 4 notches in the tray. Each notch will accommodate two reservoirs. Do
not route the hoses at this time. Take care to not squeeze the reservoirs
when placing them in the tray.
•
The system can be connected with the help of the directions located on the
printhead packaging. The valve should be inserted into the clip on the pen
until a clicking sound is heard or the operator feels the valve snap into place.
The valve and clip are symmetrical so there is no special orientation. Insert
the tubes into all of the printheads before the tape is removed from the
printheads. The tape will prevent the printhead from being damaged and will
help keep ink from leaking out of the printhead.
•
Remove the tape from the printheads one at a time and insert them into a
holder beginning with the holder closest to the reservoir. It is important to
take the tape off of the printheads so that proper electrical connection is made
with the holder.
