HP Designjet T7200 - Priming the ink system; When should you replace the ink supplies?; Obtaining Ink Cartridge information

●
Do not touch the end of the Ink Cartridge which is inserted into the printer as there may be a small
amount of ink on the connection.
●
Avoid storing partially used Ink Cartridges on their ends.
Priming the ink system
When the customer first receives the printer, it is supplied with a set of four Setup Printheads pre-installed in
the Carriage Assembly. These Setup Printheads are used for the priming of the tubes in the modular ink
delivery system. The customer must not remove the Setup Printheads from the Carriage without following
the procedures in the Assembly Instructions.
When the printer is powered on for the first time, the printer will automatically perform the priming process.
Without the priming process, the customer will not be able to use the printer.
Why does the printer require priming:
●
The Tubes System is empty when the customer receives the printer.
●
The Tubes System has to be pressurized and filled with ink, ejecting any air bubbles.
CAUTION: If the Printing Printheads are installed in the carriage during the priming process, they will
be rejected and the front panel will show a warning message.
When should you replace the ink supplies?
When to change the ink supplies is mostly determined by you with guidance from the front panel. In
conjunction with the messages displayed in the front panel and the message explanations in this chapter,
you will be able to choose for yourself when is the right time to change the ink supplies.
The printer will also display the ink level and will tell you when the ink supply is low on ink. This means you
have constantly updated information about the ink supplies.
Printhead life is anticipated to be 1200 ml or twelve months in the printer, whichever occurs first, provided
that the printhead is used under normal operating conditions (using HP Ink Cartridges only) and its “install
before date” has not lapsed. However results vary depending on the print quality setting being used.
