Unlocking the Carriage
Having selected a suitable location for your Printer and connected it to a power
source, the next thing you should do is unlock the carriage and uncap the nozzles.
Printing will be impossible until this has been done.
1. Turn the power ON.
2. Open the Paper Cover.
3. Press the Green Lever down to position®(see figure 3-1) and hold it there for
one second.
4. Release the Green Lever.
5. The ALERT Indicator will blink for about ten seconds. When it stops blinking,
lift the Green Lever to position
6. Close the Paper Cover.
Locking the Carriage
If you are going to transport the Printer or leave it unused for a long period of time, it
is advisable to lock the carriage and cap the ink nozzles. Follow this procedure:
1. Turn the power ON.
2. Open the Paper Cover.
3. Press the Green Lever all the way down and hold it there for I second.
4. Release the Lever and confirm that it stops at position I as shown in Figure 3-1.
5. The ALERT Indicator will blink for about ten seconds. This is normal. After it
stops blinking you may turn the power OFF.
6. Close the Paper Cover.
Important Note: The power must be turned ON when locking the Lever. Otherwise
the carriage cannot be locked properly. If you plan to transport or store the Printer for
a period of time, see Appendix E/ Transportation and Storage for additional
instructions.
Checking the Ink-Jet Mechanism
After loading the paper and unlocking the carriage, it is a good idea to confirm that the
Ink-Jet mechanism is working properly.This is done by pressing the FEED switch
(immediately after unlocking the carriage). The carriage will start moving and print
the test pattern shown below.
Note: The Ink-Jet Mechanism may be checked by the above procedure every time the
carriage is unlocked or after Ink-Supply Pumping (this will be discussed in the next
section), or whenever ambient temperature is low.
lf the printed pattern appears irregular or the color is weak, the ink supply may need
to be "pumped."
