Print head care and precautions
If you have problems inserting the print head:
•
Make sure the print head carriage is in the print head loading position.
•
Check that the print head/chamber is clean and free of foreign bodies.
•
NEVER force the print head into the chamber; always remove it completely and repeat the entire
insertion operation.
If the quality of printing is not optimum, do the “Clean” operation.
•
Always keep the print heads sealed in their containers 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 print head 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 “
Cleaning the print head
”.
Switching off your printer before your computer will guarantee that the print head carriage is in
its rest position. When the printer is powered, the print head carriage will automatically return
to its rest position and go into standby mode after approximately two minutes of inactivity.
