PRIMING A ROTATED HEAD - C3000X AND
C1000X ONLY
When a remote head is in the printing down position, prime as follows:
CAUTION: Do not wipe across the face of the nozzle plate.
(1) Slacken the bracket screws and pull the head
back at a slight angle as shown. Hold a
cleaning wipe just below the base of the nozzle
plate as shown.
(2) Press the prime key on the LCD screen.
This will purge a small amount of ink through
the nozzle plate so it is primed and ready to
print.
(3) Before any ink is expelled from the nozzle
plate, a screen prompt will appear on the LCD
asking for confirmation of the prime function.
Press enter to confirm the action.
(4) Continue holding the cleaning wipe in
position. The print head will expel a small
amount of ink whilst making a vibrating sound
for approximately five seconds. Only remove
the cleaning wipe when all the ink has been
soaked up.
(5) Move the head back to the printing down position and tighten the bracket.
Repeat the procedure if necessary.
