Running the print test
Before printing and at regular intervals during printing, the printer wipes the
ink cartridge jets at the service station. Still, ink cartridge jets can become
clogged, especially with prolonged exposure to the air or with disuse. Use the
Prime function to clear the jets and to check that the ink cartridges fire prop-
erly. ENCAD recommends that you prime the cartridges when they have not
been used for a few days to ensure the best possible print quality. If you cannot
obtain satisfactory results after repeatedly running this test, the ink cartridges
may require cleaning. Refer to the instructions in Chapter 7, Maintenance.
