Section 5 – Trouble Shooting Guide 

The following trouble shooting guides are provided to assist you in solving any problems that might occur 
with the AstroJet 5000 Printer.  We have tried to make them as complete as possible.  The best advice we 
can offer is to make sure that the system is setup properly, plugged in, that it has an adequate supply of ink 
before attempting to trouble shoot any problem.
