Because this is an internal test job, an option menu will appear asking if you want to
enable or disable the UV lamps for this job. This is to help save UV lamp life when
possible. Select F1 to disable the lamps, or F2 to leave them enabled. After you make
your selection the job will begin to print.
INTERNAL JOB: LAMPS
F1 -DISABLE Lamps
F2 -ENABLE Lamps
Press F1, F2, CANCEL
Note: Avoid unnecessary lamp on/off cycles when able. Each lamp on/lamp off cycle reduces
bulb life by three hours.
CAUTION: If you choose to disable the UV lamps when running a test job, the ink
will not cure on the material. If you come in contact with uncured ink, remove any
contaminated clothing and wash them separately with soap and water.

Examine the test print. If there are missing nozzles illustrated by breaks in the lines as
shown in the following illustration, prime the print heads as described in “Priming the
print heads.”

Reprint the NozzleJob test print and examine it for missing nozzles. Prime the print
heads again if necessary.

If after several attempts at priming the print heads with no change in nozzle output,
the nozzles in the print head may be unrecoverable. Missing a few nozzles will not
effect overall output quality but the print head may need to be replaced if there is a
large quantity missing.
