Purging the Nozzles
If the printhead sits inactive for a period, ink may dry in the nozzles. Printing may not remove these “ink plugs”
from the nozzles. White streaks will then show up in the printed text or graphic. In order to obtain better print
quality, these ink plugs need to be forced out or purged. A Purge routine is built into the AstroJet
2600P/2650P/2800P Printer. It can be accessed from the LCD panel on the Printer from the
MENU key. If this
does not solve the problem then proceed as follows:
1. Wipe the printhead with a wet cloth as described in " Cleaning the Printhead" above.
2. Perform the Purge routine from the Printer by pressing the MENU key momentarily and then the + key. Load
media and press the ENTER key to purge. Repeat if necessary.
3. Wipe the printhead again with a moist cloth.
NOTE: For more information refer to the Troubleshooting Print Heads in Section 5 – Trouble Shooting
Guide .
