SECTION 2
INSTALLING PRINTER

9. Carefully Close Printhead Latch [6].
Tip: There will be a little resistance when closing the Printhead Latch with a new system, since the
coupling surfaces are not lubricated (no ink present). Close the Latch slowly to avoid damaging the rubber
O-rings located inside the Ink Revolver Couplings.
10. Check the Touchscreen Display to verify that Printhead Cartridge was recognized.
The Printhead icon should change from a question mark (?) to an outlined
(unprimed, empty) Printhead icon and System Status should change from
“PRINTHEAD_MISSINGQA” to “DOOROPEN_PRINTHEAD”.
Tip: If you don’t see this change, then the system isn’t recognizing the Printhead.
In this case you should tap the “Release Printhead” button, to release the Printhead
Latch. Open Printhead Latch fully. Remove the Printhead and check/clean the contacts.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth. Wet nozzle surface, re-install Printhead and shut Printhead Latch.
If Printhead is still NOT recognized, call for technical support.
11. Close Printhead Door!
Printer will run a “priming routine” that fills the ink system and Printhead with ink.
During that time “System Status: Maintenance Busy” will be displayed at the top of
the Touchscreen and the following progress bar messages will appear: Printhead
Prime, Ink Circulate, Transfer Wiper.
Tip: If priming routine doesn’t start when you close the
Printhead Door, verify all Ink Tanks and the Printhead
are recognized, and the Ink Tank Door is closed. If
System Status shows an Error message, tap the “Clear
Error” button. If priming routine still doesn’t start, open
and close the Printhead Door. If priming routine still
doesn’t start, power-down the printer (using Soft Power
Button), then power-up the printer. If priming routine
doesn’t start during power-up, call for technical support.
NOTE: Printer will take about 4 minutes to prime and
prepare the Printhead for use.
All Doors must be shut before the Printhead priming process will begin.
Do NOT open any of the Doors when the printer is working (priming, performing
maintenance, printing), or the process will be interrupted.
Tip: The wiper roller is automatically conditioned during the Printhead Priming process.
