Carriage lock operation by the Change Lever
Unlike the previous printer (Stylus COLOR 680), this printer does not have the
Carriage Lock Lever with the Wiper.
Instead of the Carriage Lock Lever, the Change Lever is set to the front side of the
printer while the Carriage Unit is in the CR home position.
(As for the detailed mechanism for setting the Change Lever, refer to
Figure 2-7
(p.60)

2.2.6 Ink Sequence
V
Initial ink charge
After the printer is purchased and the power is turned on for the first time, the
printer must perform the Initial Ink Charge to charge the ink inside the ink cavity.
When the Initial Ink Charge is completed properly, the printer releases the flag
inside the EEPROM. Initial Ink Charge will take about 100 seconds for Stylus
CX3500/CX3600/CX3650/CX4500/CX4600. If the power is turned off during the
Initial Ink Charge, the CL3 will be performed at next power on timing.

Manual Cleaning
The Stylus CX3500/CX3600/CX3650/CX4500/CX4600 provides three types of
manual cleaning to clean air bubbles, clogged ink with viscosity or foreign
substances.
The manual CL can be performed by the Control Panel Operation, the Printer
Driver Utility and the Adjustment Program.
