Step 9: Priming the Print Head and Testing Print Quality
1. Ensure caps and plugs (vent, vacuum, and ink inlet) from the rear of the print head
have been removed and stored (see diagram).
2. Install the previously primed ink line and vacuum line into the rear of the print
head.
3. Ensure all print heads are at operating temperature.
4. Ensure that the shipping cap is installed for priming.
NOTE:
Print is disabled until the print head is fully heated. Wait until the "AT TEM-
PERATURE" LED is illuminated on the rear of the print head prior to any print sam-
pling.
5. Press and hold the Prime button on the rear of the print head until the S
MART
- IDS
Beacon flashes once. Repeat this step once more.
6. Remove the ship cap (see diagram) and store on the side of the 768E print head,
or on the top of the 384E print head.
NOTE:
Do not use lint-free wipes in the print channel; use foam swabs instead.
7. Use a foam swab to lightly wipe the orifice plate in a vertical
downward motion.
8. Prime the print head by pressing the button once, quickly
(ACS).
9. Print can be tested by slowly passing a sheet of paper in front
of the print head after pressing the All Channel Print button.
A solid image will print for approximately 3 seconds.
10. If the 384E sample is 50,8mm (2in) tall with no gaps, the print
head is ready.
If the 768E sample is 101,6mm (4in) tall with no gaps, the
print head is ready.
