Print head container
You should use the print head container supplied with the
printer to store the print head that you have removed from
the printer in order to insert a different type of print head.
For example, if you wish to print a draft text in monochrome
black, remove the color print head and place it in the
storage container, closing the lid securely to prevent the ink
drying and blocking the print nozzles.
Do not put anything (such as tape or paper) over the
print head nozzles.
You can then insert a monochrome print head in the printer,
following the procedure described in the Quick Start.
Print Head Care
Always keep the print heads (ink cartridges)
sealed until they are to be used.
Remember to remove the protective tape before
inserting the print head in the printer. Take care not to
get ink on your clothes; the ink in the cartridge stains.
Do NOT attempt to refill the print head with ink, as this
damages the print head and the printer.
DO NOT shake the print head; it is not a fountain pen. If
it does not print, do the cleaning operations described in
the next section.
If you think that the number of pages printed with the
current print head is fewer than usual, try cleaning the
print head. If the “end of ink” condition persists, the
print head/is empty and requires replacing.
Always make sure that the print head is in its rest
position BEFORE switching off your computer. When
the printer is powered, the print head will automatically
return to its rest position and go into standby mode after
approximately two minutes of inactivity.
Cleaning the print head
The print head is cleaned automatically at regular intervals
while the printer is powered. This operation clears the print
head nozzles, guaranteeing the ink flow. If you have a
problem with the printing quality that is not solved by this
automatic nozzle clearing operation, you can do the same
operation, using the “CLEAN” function in the Printer Care
