If the printer runs through this check and gives a solid red light, push the
Ink button
to
move the cartridges to the
Replacement
position, and remove/reinstall the CFS cartridges
before plugging the printer back in and restarting. If this does not resolve the issue
please contact MIS Technical Support for further assistance
([email protected]).
If the printer runs through its initial checks and does not give a red light, then print a
copy of the purge6.tif to ensure that the printer is not banding. It is often necessary to
run several cleaning cycles to get a perfect output, but please note that no more than 3
cleaning cycles should be run at one time. If it is necessary to run more than 3 cleaning
cycles you must run a print (purge6.tif) before running the next series of cleaning cycles.
The Care and Feeding of a CFS
-
There are a couple of things you should know that will keep your system running trouble
free.
These systems work best if they are used frequently, daily is best, but every few days is
more important. If you are an infrequent printer or only print once or twice a week, then
you should install our AUTOPRINT program (download it for free from our CFS page).
Autoprint will make a printout using our Purge6 image everyday as long as you leave your
computer and printer turned on.
If you have to do cleaning cycles, do them in groups of 3 and be certain to print
something, we recommend a copy of the Purge6 pattern after every 3 cleaning cycles. This
resets the printer firmware so that you get a medium, long, and short duration cleaning
cycle. If you don't do this, you will only get short cleaning cycles after the 3rd one.
Running several short cleaning cycles will cause nozzles to drop out. If you are still having
problems after about 3 or 4 sets of 3 cleanings, then let the printer rest for a few hours
or overnight and try again later. This has worked on many Epson printers in the past. It
gives the air bubbles in the ink a chance to rise to the surface and get out of the
printhead.
Don't let your ink bottles get empty. Refill them when they are at the 1/4 full level.
Before pouring new ink into your bottle, transfer the ink that is left into a clean glass or
jar. Then wash out the CFS ink bottle with soap and water. Then refill with leftover ink
and new ink. This keeps algae from building up on the walls of the bottle and causing
premature ink failure. An easier method is to order a spare set of empty bottles, and keep
them on hand, clean and ready to use.
If an ink does not print. Remove the tube from the bottle, lift the cartridge out, and suck
out a little ink, not more than 2 cc, to eliminate any air locks that may be present. Use the
syringe and bottom fill adapter, then reinstall. If you have all colors printing but you are
